[I asked Marty about his 300 MB of project volume space on Andrew.]

> Why do you want to know?
 
I asked you why they were deleted and what's in the remaining one. Why?
 
I may replicate part of your study, possibly through the SURG program
(applications due this week) or perhaps just through the URI. How
difficult was it for you to get the 300 MB of proj vol space? Who did
you have to ask? Why did they get rid of 250 MB of space?

Often researchers make their software tools available to researchers who
want to replicate their study. If you still have your PERL scripts, that
would make my life easier. In fact, your study may be impossible to
replicate properly without them, since you don't go into exhaustive
detail regarding categories...

The way I see it, if you feel your study's conclusions are valid, you
should welcome those who could validate your results.

Thanks in advance,
 
Declan

PERL/awk/sed/csh/sh, etc. scripts. That you used to parse image descriptions.
 
Any other tips, cyberporn researcher to cyberporn researcher? :)

If you want an answer you'll have to first tell me how you know about
the Perl scripts.

I think this is unreasonable. Are you interested in helping me
replicate, and possibly validate, your research? If you are, you should
be *happy* to send me a copy of the programs you used to parse the image
descriptions.

PS: You wrote to Seth: "I am working on a PERL program which classifies
the images. For instance, every time the word 'dog' but not 'doggie'
occurs in a  description, perl writes it to the bestiality category."

You'll have to show yourself as an honorable person before you can just
ask me for anything.

Marty,
 
I assume you're implying I'm not an honorable person.
 
But I'm more interested in the restrictions you establish before
deciding to help someone replicate your research. Wouldn't it make sense
to ask me about my educational background and perhaps talk with my
advisor -- in other words, investigate not my *ethical* credentials, but
my *academic* ones?
 
So are you going to help me replicate -- and perhaps validate -- your
study or not? I'm just asking for some rudimentary help here.
