Have any other authors received this email?

I just received this survey request but can't figure out who "Publishing Research Group" is. The survey is benign but it appears they're f(ph)ishing for authors. Author friends: have any of you gotten this?

Hello,

We are inviting you to take one of our series of surveys concerning the book publishing industry (see the 'Enter Survey Here' button below). The survey requires 4-5 minutes of your time. All those (and only those) that complete the survey will receive a complete statistical reporting of the results of the survey (typically about 2 weeks after we distribute the invitations to take the survey).

This survey is part of a series of surveys being conducted, directed at various sub-groups of authors and publishers, in both the self-publishing and traditional publishing areas. You can read here a clear explanation of the purpose, usage and privacy of the survey.

At all times, the privacy of survey participants will be protected.

I would like to thank you in advance for your investment of time with us.

Thank you,

Clara Harris
Administrator

Decide to Network by Robert Muller

Every now and then, we get a request for copies of the "Decide to Network" postcard, backstory here. One such came yesterday, prompting me, post-Boston Marathon, to remember the power of this message. As noted before, when Robert Muller sent us this poem in 1981, there were 4 billion people in the world; 32 years later, we're 7 billion. There's a great deal more to say about Boston, the kind of post that takes a few hours, not a few minutes, like this one.
