Hi Andrea. While not taking a scholarly interest in fandom or in
perceptions of films (even Indy films), I am interested, in a general
sense, of people's thoughts and behavior on many topics including
those mentioned above, but my area of research is in logical reasoning
and problem solving. Let me reassure everone in this forum that I
am not conducting any type of research within this forum. My interest
here is the same as everyone's... I think the IJ films are great and
I love to read and talk about Indy.

If you are interested in conducting some "sociology" regarding the
forum, I would guess most of the contributers here (including myself)
would be happy to share their views on Indy with you. I would find
the results of a survey, for example, very interesting and it would
probably stimulate a good deal of discussion among all of us.

Regards,
Stephen
