Thank you, reefgirl. I'm actually a hootoo denizen, and have been so for a couple of years. I'm now investigating hootoo for a class project, and therefore need to make me another identity so that my activities as a researcher (the real life kind <grin&gt are not conflated with what i do here normally. more details on my user page.

Ah I see, Pleased to meet you

hi, so you're actually the first ACE I've spoken to, incredible as it may sound for a two year old member

i noticed that you do a lot of introductions, helping newbies get around the site - that's amazing! i wish *i* was so motivated. i'd love to know what you think about the site, why you chose to be an ACE, what attracts you to hootoo, and things like that.

would you be interested in me informally interviewing you for say, roughly half an hour, over the phone? details about our study can be found at:

if you have any questions, you can also email us at: [email protected]

thanks a ton!

I'll have a think about it and let you know

oh, btw, i checked with my prof and it doesn't *have* to be on the phone. we can meet with you online (on IM), too. we just prefer phone because it's more expressive.

thanks for considering!

It'll be best for us to do it online I think, My email address is on my PS
