Speaking of posting responses, some time ago someone (I believe the last name was Green) mentioned that s/he would post a list of responses to his/her request for references regarding social support. Has the list been posted? If not, will it be posted soon? Thank you. -----Original Message----- From: Jean Singer [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, January 21, 2003 1:19 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Social Networks in R&D A number of people have asked to see a summary of the responses to my posting on social networks in R&D, so I am providing one below.
