<< Several months ago I sent an email out looking for
 participants for a research study I am conducting at
 Cameron University.  I am interested in the
 personality profiles of people who go on dxpeditions
 to uninhabited islands, because I have always thought
 that it takes a special type of person to function
 well under those extreme conditions (isolation,
 possible boredom, extreme weather, etc).  I am now
 going to share my initial findings with the reflector. >>

 It appears that everything you have found seems to be accurate, 
DXpeditioners are generally talented team players with a lust for life and a 
sense of adventure....you would have to be, because it seems by the sound of 
the pileups they have to deal with, many of the people on the other end 
undoubtedly scored the absolute opposite.
 Im glad you posted this surveys findings...not that anyone who actually IS a 
lid will change their spots, but its nice to recognize those who put on a 
major expedition and do it with a smile. I know i end up with one when they 
put a new one in my log.  Thanks.
