I never participate in any form of market research because my information is valuable to these companies. Why should I feel compelled to give this information for free?

Actually, these "survey companies" already exist, and the professional opiners participate in so-called "focus groups."
True to HippieOgre's original advice to pause for additional information before reflexively hanging up, last night I received an invitation to participate in a focus group, to listen music mixes for radio programming. For 2 hours of listening an feeding back, I will receive $50!
