Hey guys, I'm writing a paper on the Clutchcity BBS for a Sociology class (I figure since I spend so much time here, I might as well make it count for something) I'd like to get an idea of the demographics of some of the regulars (and non-regulars). For those of you who wouldn't mind, I'd really appreciate it if you could give me some general info on yourselves: Gender Age Race/Ethnicity Home: (City, State and/or Country) Occupation Highest Education Completed Household Income (rounded to nearest ten thousand) # in household I figured it would be uncomfortable posting such personal information on the BBS (although you're welcome to post your info in this thread, if you're so inclined). It would be good if you guys could just e-mail me. My e-mail address is simac@rice.edu. My paper examines some Clutchcity norms, roles, and also looks at how the internet environment affects Rockets fans, fans' relations with the organization. I think we're living in an incredible period of societal change and it's good to take a step back and really see how much the internet's influencing our lives. I hope you feel this is worth contributing to. If you can take a minute to help me out, I'd really appreciate it, and to anyone who wants it, I'll e-mail a copy of my paper. Thanks a lot! ------------------ [This message has been edited by Relativist (edited April 23, 2001).]
