Well, emoney3, first you need to learn a little more about approaching online groups so please consider this some well-meant and kindly advice.
1. Blitzing several forums on a site with the same message simply clutters a site and makes the members question your motives. Troll?
2. Introduce yourself, state why you are researching the topic, under whose guidance (college, marketing group, magazine etc.,) where you expect to use the info.
3. Approach a moderator and ask for guidance and site policies on research topics. Special fora are set up to do just this right now.
4. Do a search on the site's history for a good number of just these kinds of questions and explain why you need more info. This will demonstrate that you are serious about your interest and also respectful of members' time and efforts
It is disappointing that your supervisor has not given you some guidance on these issues.
