It's Annoying to be Lied To

I signed up for Greenfield Online because I usually enjoy taking surveys and of course who wouldn't want to win money? At first I actually enjoyed taking the surveys here, but it quickly got to be just an annoyance.
The time that really turned me off of this site was when I received one of their e-mail invitations to take a survey. The letter claimed that if I qualified for the survey that they would then want me to complete a brief survey that would take approx. 15-20 minutes of my time. I figured I would go ahead and take the survey because it was on an interesting topic even though I detest surveys that take longer than 15 minutes. Well, 45 minutes later I was still trudging through the increasingly boring survey. Finally, after more than an hour, I had completed the survey. Did I win anything for my trouble? No. Have I ever won anything for my trouble? No.
A few months later, after deleting all of the e-mails they had been sending me I was bored one day and decided to give them another chance. Well, it happened again. I didn't even bother completing that survey.
Another thing that is really annoying is that if you decide not to participate in a survey they will send you up to five more e-mails asking you to participate. If you were not interested the first time, how is their annoying you going to make you change your mind? I know that a lot of people enjoy this site, but it just isn't any fun unless you have a LOT of time on your hands, which I don't.
