I work at the University of Winchester and I and one of my fellow researchers would very much like to use your experiences as an example of using of social networks in the context of Law, in this case, using Flyertalk in the context of train services being withdrawn or not. We would like to present our research at an IT Law Conference in London next month with a view to later publishing it in academic and/or professional journals.

So may I ask you:

(1) if you would agree, in principle, to our using the information in this thread in our work
(2) if any of you would be prepared to take part in a short interview, either by telephone or email.

We will, of course, respect your confidentiality and we will not reveal your identity, your handle or any personal information about you. We would like to include you in our acknowledgements but we will only do this if you would like us to.

I won't put my email address or phone number in a public post, but do please PM me if you would like to discuss further or if you would be willing to be interviewed and please do reply to this post as well.
