About to get my phd - you can help

donfers

ok so my whole doctorate was built on the hypothesis that reverse psychology is greatly over-rated in terms of the influence it exerts

so I am asking you all to please not thank this post

The rudimentary parameters for this experient suggest that the average amount of traffic to an AH thread at this time of day per hour is about 400 users, if I get less than 40 thanks (as my hypothesis is based on an equation that calculates reverse psycology success at 10%) then bingo I'm a doctor

hope you've understood that, over to you

Promise to change your username to Dr.Don and I won't thank your post.

If that promise is not made by midnight, consider your OP 'thanked'.

This may be the most genius idea I have ever heard. This has to be published in every psychology journal in every country.

Some people take this thanks whoring business just a bit too seriously.

Stinicker

Jeez another thanks whore, the evolution of trolls continues, now claiming PHDs.

Your not including any variables? For example that your post is not one which will incite others to comment, hence making this thread drop in AH meaning less people actually look at it. Or that telling people you are using reverse psychology may indeed influence your results. Are you aware of anything which may reduce traffic to this page at the present time? How many AH posters will be watching the match for example?

Bloody arts.. your phd isn't worth a first year science students christmas assessments by the sounds of it. Where are you getting it from? What lecturer do i contact to voice my disgust?
