Last year I went on vacation and decided not to do their surveys while I was away.I went for 10 days.When I came home I was told I was no longer on their panel due to inactivity.So if I were you I would just stop doing them and see if they kick you off.And if that doesn't work then I'm (LOL)gonna be upset at them for kicking me off.Well maybe not so much now as I would have been.

I was afraid of this. I was wondering why things were changing a bit over there lately and now I know why. so sad. I used to have good luck aco. now its... well you know how it is. again so sad.

They really made a mess of it, didn't they?

Sent me three invites in one day... all of them had ridiculous profiling crap attached to them, and not one of the surveys was about what it claimed to be about.

And for f#%&s sake, can these companies stop designing these surveys for a browser that was obsolete 10 damned years ago (M$IE)??
