The questions were very good, and it gave me an opportunity to maybe think about some things that you haven’t thought about before. Maybe put some perspective on what happened to you and your life and that type of things.It made think in a new way or something (interview # B4)

At first I responded directly to your question because I get up so early in the morning that some people hadn't respond yet. And then later on when I get a little bit time, then I started reading people's stories. If I didn't have a chance to do that in the morning, I did that later. (interview # A1)

There are a few questions I answer immediately as soon as I read the questions, some of them like the questions about the important experience in my life. I want to think deeply about them so I waited to respond and then read everybody else’s responses and then replied to them. (interview # B3)

I don’t check my email every day, so I think there were people who answered very quickly and so I did go see what they wrote just to get a feel of oh you know, how did they respond to this and what they might have similar to me. But I think I still effectively truthfully answered the question not based on what they said but my true feelings. (interview # C2)

I would love to keep in touch with Nick. I really enjoy the way he wrote and described his life and I actually responded to something to him and he responded back and he said That really made me laugh I really need that. I feel like I almost knew him just because the way he spoke and the tenderness he has in the storytelling. (interview # A1)

My job is talking to people all over the united state. A lot of them I never met so I have the relationship with all these people just through phone contact And it’s fun to meet somebody. That doesn’t necessarily always happen. So I would be happy just keeping an email communication going with him. . (interview # A1)

So it’s fun to be in a group of strangers to learn about other people. And that you might hold back a little bit if it was friends or people you already know. If it’s strangers, you figure oh I’m not gonna see them again, so I will just share everything you know. But I can see where a person may have some reservation about sharing some details; you may not be that open. (interview # B4)
