I need a favor from you all. Don’t worry, it’s easy! For my final in Anthropology, we have to do a study on a culture/subculture. I chose pinball! Since this is an unusual hobby, my professor and I have decided to make this an ethnographic study. (I use first-hand accounts to make my assessments and conclusions about the subculture.) If you would like to participate, (and I really hope you do! I need as many people as possible for this) please send me an email and I will send you a word document with the questions. All you have to do is fill it out! That’s it!

Please help me out! [email protected]

Autumnfade: I'm looking for people to answer maybe 25 questions about the pinball community so that I can use it to draw conclusions about the pinball community as a subculture.

Thanks gweempose!

Email sent. In my email, I asked when you need the paper returned by. Can you post here also? It may help some of us determine if we can help or not.

I would really like these back around this weekend. Earlier is always better.

To everyone that's emailed me so far, thank you all!

25 questions. Are there cribnotes? There's a Barnes and Noble by my house.

And did you hear that? You're all "unusual". I knew I shouldn't have gotten involved with this bunch

I got more than enough to work with! I sent out almost 30 and got back nearly 20! Everyone really was awesome about this.

phrmtek! Noooo! I didn't even open an email until I responded to it. I don't know where things got misplaced in the cyberworld.

I meant to respond and got sidetracked if I did get it.

Well, how did it go?
I told other people in the Tribe about your paper, as a result I've had to post your questionnaire to our forum so they could have a look.

Are we pinball people pretty screwed up or what? In relation to other less-normal groups than ours, of course...
