I decided to take my own advice and try to map out some things that we all would find interesting about fellow hatrackers. I'd like it to involve as much of the community as possible, so Ill be doing it in stages.
Stage 1: Gathering ideas for questions people would like to know about Mao Zi Dao Men, (Hatrackers in Chinese, my own translation Pronounced Mao (Ow! with an M at the beggining) Zi (tzzzz) Dao (as in Ow! with a D) Men (as in Money (dont say the ee part) Mao Zi Dao Men.
Within this thread for now, simply post things (1-2 things you consider the MOST interesting). I'm limiting everyone to 1-2 ideas,
Stage 2: After enough ideas have been submitted I will simply pick a set and list them as a survey. You will all be invited to submit your answers to the survey. If you are not comfortable with the community knowing what your answers are to some of the questions (hatrackers can ask pretty pointed questions) you can email me personally through hatrack your answers.
Stage 3: Ill post the statistics for the survey as well as a description of what the quintessential hatracker is.
Obviously if participation sucks, Ill give up on this project in disgust, but I have the time and energy to see it through so I will really be limited solely on what I have to work with.
I'd love for all of you to help make this work, I think it will be fun.
edit: Should it be "A Hatracker Demograph" or more true to Queen's English, "An Hatracker Demograph?" The Brits don't pronounce their H's so H words are preceded by "an".

1) regional location 2) political affiliation 3) religious affiliation
Edit: is this a survey to find out what survey questions people like? Can we then have a survey to find out what answers to the survey question survey people like best?

Not sure what you mean.
This survey will first find out what everyone wants to know about other hatrackers, and then do stats on how people respond to those questions.
Obviously its implied that once all is said and done there will be discussion on the data Posts: 14316 | Registered: Jul 2005

I'd love to see the Myers-Briggs letters, too. I think there would be a strong showing of NFs.

Corwin, you’re reading too much into it. The fact that I’ve started a specific thread for each of those two questions proves that they are subjects of great interest for me. The fact that I didn’t give a link to them is because my posts here aren’t supposed to do “advertising” for them.

How about? What is your bank account number? What is your pin and password? What credit card has the most available credit on it.
What is that number? What is your social security number? Do you believe in prosecuting identity theives? Do you believe in hunting down and harming sweet innocent identity theives?

Great idea BlackBlade, Here are my suggestions:
1. Are you an aspiring novelist? 2. Favorite sci-fi,fantasy,or horror writer? 3. Favorite general fiction writer? 4. Favorite classic-fiction writer, e.g., Wharton, Steinbeck, Dickens, etc.? 5. Favorite all-time movie? 6. Do you have children? 7. Are you married? 8. Have you received any text messages from Mark Foley?

Liking the questions thus far. Getting them all down. Questions that are requested the most will probably have the highest probability of being included in the final product.
Discussion about this project is fine, try to keep debate down just for my sanities sake.

I still think it's more fun to just read hatrack, you can learn almost everything asked about many people that way.

Agreed. I've participated in my share of A/S/L and survey threads on Hatrack, but this is getting ridiculous.

Many people create alts so they can post more contriversial responses to threads. I'd like that to be part of this project.
Theres still value to it. I was suprised by the age of the average hatracker, I'd like to be suprised by more periphery queries. I hope you will reconsider not participating
Tomorrow will be the deadline for submitting questions. After that I will come up with a list of questions that people can respond to. If you all wish, I will post the survey I have come up with and you can critique it and help me refine it before we actually post answers.
Please if you can submit even one clever question, I would greatly appreciate it.

"If there was one thing you could change about yourself, what would it be?"
I'd be curious to see if hatrackers are more concerned with physical, intelectual or societal aspects of themselves.

1. What was the first OSC book you read? 2. Who introduced you to it? 3. How did you find out about hatrack in the first place? 4. How many people you personally know are also hatrackers?

Last chance to get questions in, its 12:49pm (Mountain Time) my time, and I'm giving folks a window of 1 hour to get their questions in before I create the list. I really hope to procure more interest!
