Inappropriate use of this list. In spite of the University of the Free State URL, I would doubt this is legitimate as this is not the way university research surveys are conducted.
I would think carefully before following this link (I have not). To start with, the invitation is missing the ethics committee authorization and university certification ID, and one would have to wonder what sampling approach involves the sldev list as an avatar sampling base. If we sent out an invitation for University research studies like this in Oz we would be up before the ethics committee in a flash. Note the non-university email address as the reply to.
