This is graduate research? If you are doing research, Mel, you should be
looking for evidence of WHETHER the net is serving the purposes you
described. Research should test a hypothesis, not confirm it. Please
keep in mind Winston Churchill's response to a political opponent: He
uses evidence as a drunk uses a lamppost: For support, and not for
illumination.
