JMA, is that you? You're usually the one who gets himself logged out.
I would enjoy very few things as much as the ability to test these hypotheses with randomized controlled experiments on sufficiently large samples. As long as I'm asking for the impossible, I could throw in the requirement that the experiments be double-blinded, but I don't even know what that would look like. Neither the experimenters nor the experimental subjects could tell if they were demographically or geographically in proximity or propinquity.
