i undertake a research study. I want to see how many members, active + silent, read the posts from "match support forum" section.The study has no bias. I am sure that every visitor will open the post and they will do it only one time.

No prematches, only rejections

Thank you for participating in this research, I appreciated

P.S. -You can close now, you did your job.

Vai is a good research scietist.He has eliminated bias by letting both males and females participate.By this way all confounding facotors(especially the biggest of them -the female confounding factors ) are ruled out.

When i looked at the topic ,i thought it was a blind dating site.

Loser! You already posted twice, you are trying to bias my study? You are permitted only one visit. Apurva counts as 5 members, so he is allowed 3 more posts.

The protocol was approved by IRB, u 2 (delusion and loser) dont meet the inclusion criteria, i take you out from study. Loser & Delusion are attributes that strongly classify you at exclusion criteria.

Protocol - inclusion criteria: 1) members must be a winner

2) members must believe in reality

3) Moderators counts as 5 junior members.

you are right it is not blind study, actually it is double blind: neither I nor members have any idea about what happen here

I have just heard for AMerican Heart association that this research will go a long way in determining how patients with MI are treated.Those who would start wondering on how this could be possible and that this research is totally irrelavant to heart diseases, need to go back to medicine books .I cant explain the basics here as the forum wouldnt allow me to do it .

Congrats Vai for designing this breakthrough research man.You are a star .Some upcoming tabloids might want to defame you .Its part of the fame .

Loser-you know in a research there are some cases which we cant follow(loss) .And there are some which keep coming back redundantly (gain).Wehav to make up for both losses and gain .The study designed by Vai has taken care of both .What happened to your research about hot girls .you started it and then deleted it .did it not get the approval of ethics comitte or the funding got disapproved.(sorry ,all in good jest ,intentions utterly bonafide)

hey vai

i thought i was trying to eliminate any possible bias in this study... man your inclusion and exclusion criteria seem to be speculative and idea of double blind doesn't agree to me as everybody is aware of what's happening... and this study could be falsely statistically significant if all participants are not treated the same....
