A fair point. But then, imagine 4chan becoming interested in an online anonymous survey about sexual harassment... X-D

The chance of a 4Chan raid is the least of your worries, really. I don't know where the links in the ancestor were posted, but you could end up with anything from bad -- a bunch of random demographic filters that are next to impossible to control for -- to terrible, roughly the equivalent of surveying a Young Republicans meeting about Barack Obama's economic policy. Except ten percent of the attendees are only there for kicks and will answer every question with "fish".

Depends on what you are worried about, really :-/ And I don't think it will be a raid, just, y'know, a field trip. The 4chan people are a helpful crowd and would love to leave lots of responses to the survey...
