Hello, Everyone

I truly don't mean for this message to be SPAM. Trust me, I don't
want to sell anything to you guys. However, I do need some help.

I am currently enrolled in a Sociology of the Family course at my
college. For the class' final exam, we have been placed into teams,
and given a research paper to do. However, instead of simply typing
in a subject at Google and studying someone else's research, the
class must do its own research. Thus, as one way of doing research,
my team has started a Yahoo! group: "Alcoholism and/or Cancer in the
Family". Here is the group's front page message:

"Welcome. This Yahoo! group has been created by [a team of students]
as part of a study for a research paper at Surry Community College.
The study which [the team is] conducting compares the effects of
alcoholism and cancer on families, in an attempt to discover which
disease has the most negative effects.

This Yahoo! group is dedicated to studying the effects that such
diseases as alcoholism and cancer have on the family. If, as a
child, you grew up with a parent(s) who suffered from one or both of
these diseases, please, if you do not mind, share your experience
with us, by filling out a private survey which we will e-mail to
you. Also, messages on the messageboard are greatly appreciated as
well. Any information on the subject that you would give to us would
be appreciated."

If you folks would please post some messages at the Yahoo! group
[membership is not required], I would be very grateful. Also, please
spread the word. The more opinions my team has, the better the
research will be.

Thank you very, very much.

Here is the address for the group:
