Just want to thank everyone who has responded so far. I'm up to 13 surveys now. Just 87 more to go. :-/

I am a college student at ECPI University. I am conducting a survey on whether people feel safe in Second Life than they do in real life. I have tried to conduct this survey in-game but hardly anyone will agree to complete the survey and of those how do, few actually return it to me. I need 100 completed surveys by Monday. I've spent several hours in-game handing out the survey and have gotten less than 10 completed and returned to me. PLEASE HELP! Here is the survey. If you could please fill it out, copy and paste it in a post on this thread you would be doing me a huge favor.
