Dear Soren,
Can you please give some feedback that benefits PhD-design members.
Otherwise you are simply using the members of this list to do your PhD for
you.
I recommend reading Eric Raymonds's guide to asking questions. It's very
useful, if a little 'in your face'. Many of us have learned its lessons the
hard way.
Try it. I think you will enjoy it. Almost as good as 'Nation'.
See http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#formats
Best regards,
Terence

The first thing to understand is that hackers actually like hard problems
and good, thought-provoking questions about them. If we didn't, we wouldn't
be here. If you give us an interesting question to chew on we'll be grateful
to you; good questions are a stimulus and a gift. Good questions help us
develop our understanding, and often reveal problems we might not have
noticed or thought about otherwise. Among hackers, "Good question!" is a
strong and sincere compliment.
Despite this, hackers have a reputation for meeting simple questions with
what looks like hostility or arrogance. It sometimes looks like we're
reflexively rude to newbies and the ignorant. But this isn't really true.
What we are, unapologetically, is hostile to people who seem to be unwilling
to think or to do their own homework before asking questions. People like
that are time sinks - they take without giving back, and they waste time we
could have spent on another question more interesting and another person
more worthy of an answer. We call people like this "losers" (and for
historical reasons we sometimes spell it "lusers").

Dear PHD-Design'ers,
Thank you for all your help with my PhD project on design quantifications.
Without the input from our forum, the result would have been one-dimensional
and shallow.
Now, I am pursuing research on how to incorporated design into business
plans / models, together with Copenhagen Business School. If you would
please send me your thought on this, suggestions to literature - I would be
very grateful.
Yours sincerely,
Soren
