pluto: 😛 I looked it up in at [www.m-w.com,](http://www.m-w.com,) and while you are correct that you pore over a book, it also said that you can pour out emotions. And here I was just thinking “pore” are those little buggers that I fight a daily battle with to keep tiny.

Everyone else who wants to participate but who has not sent me an email, email me. I would write all you guys, but I want to keep it as anonymous as possible.(if I contact you directly, it is less random.) [bitterspce@aol.com](mailto:bitterspce@aol.com)

Swimming:

I don’t mean to be a stick-in-the-mud, but when you write your report PLEASE do not call this study sample a “random sample”. Your participants are self-selected, not randomly sampled.

Hopefully that tip saved you a few points.

Eissclam.

Nope, it’s not random, and I am not labeling it as such. I think you sent me an e-mail, and I responded citing the journal article that did a similar study on a larger scale.

Nope, no e-mails from me. My students take their stats final on Monday – I have enough to keep me busy corresponding with them!
