[NPInfo] Re: [NP-Clinical] Research survey

[David Mittman]

If you do not get $25.00, I would not complete. It is rude to pay  
doocs and not us.
Even if they gave us less, it would be OK (to me personally) as it is  
acknowledgment. To give us nothing is rude.
Also, DO NOT, DO NOT give your opinion to orgs that you do not know.  
They can be the AMA for all we know.
