Good trick to test if something has been posted elsewhere is to take a unique, unlikely to be used by anything else sentence and put it in quotes on Google.

suberous do you like to copypaste a lot? Or a spambot?

The most worrying thing about that is not the fact that a pet research spammer has joined Hexus, but that there is a forum out there with the URL http://community.dog.com.

I mean, what?

I don't see where the problem is. He is not exactly selling anything, and the project may be legitimate. Plus, this thread will vanish soon if he does not participate.

I think spam makes a great pet.

I don't have a problem with it per se, but it feels analogous to someone walking into a cafe / pub and handing out surveys. It sounds OK, but if you were in the cafe it'd grate a bit.

Then again, I'm a curmudgeonly old man who hates those rose sellers who hang around on Friday nights too, so feel free to ignore me

Ah - another pet lover!

But then you don't have to post here if it isn't relevant to you, whereas you may not be able to avoid someone leaving a survey on your table.

Join the club!

Seriously - a new poster - maybe with a hdden agenda, but no proof - and if it is a survey, posting similar threads in other forums is perfectly reasonable. And if there is no acknowledgement or response, the thread will sink. Lets spread a bit of !
