I rarely respond to the dialogue unless some comment is directed at me or my work. I'm not interested in the excessive back and forth on-line. I am interested in what various scholars can seriously mine with regards to our groups. Opinions don't amount to scholarship, and the one great thing about scholarship is that it can broadly address an issue with some degree of objectivity.
Nough said on my part with regards to this issue.

didn't say anything about google. check THIS site. this issue has been discussed often before, whether suitable for research or not. if you feel that it's not beneficial to you or your research, hey...whatever, no sweat off of my back. you're the one coming to a message board for "research" and asking people to provide their opinions. if you want "scholars" to respond, stick to people who have the same research topic you have. we're all expressing our opinions on this site and would hardly call ourselves "experts" and "objective."
