A Curmudgeonly Public Service Announcement

[gurdymonkey]

Dear Messrs. Barratt, Cahill, Carlen, Huck, Lurker and Ploskonka,

Please do not call your little exercise a "blog game" in the hopes of duping me into participating in an experiment. It's quite obviously not a game, but some sort of study in which you are collecting information on the relative affluence of blog users on this (and possibly other) journal groups.

You will forgive me if I prefer not to  "share"  information about my socio-economic status on a public internet forum.

Thank you for your attention.

Thanks but no . . .

We didn't start the meme. If you track it back to the source this is an awareness experience for US undergrads on social class, nothing more. It got picked up and has taken on a life of its own.
