(To anyone who hasn't followed this discussion previously, note that
binaries of video games--X tetris, X pacman, X asteroids, to name a
few--are available all over the Internet and have ABSOLUTELY NO
RESEARCH value. Something like alt.sex.bondage at least has the
potential to provide research material for a social scientist).
EVERYTHING has potential research value. Truly innovative research
happens when someone thinks of something unique that hasn't been
thought about before. Therefore, you can't pre-judge ANY material as
inappropriate.
