This posting intrudes a question into people's 
time and space, but the poster asks for
private assistance, all for the sake of boosting 
the poster's research proposal. 

Requests for private replies seem totally in order 
whenever people seek (1) job applications or (2) tenders 
for consultancy which will be rewarded financially, 
but not otherwise. Such searches are uncommon in 
practice on Statalist and not in total problematic. 

Whether people reply to this is clearly up to them, 
but in my view this posting violates the spirit of 
Statalist and I would be very sad if anyone took it 
as an acceptable precedent.
