“…In considering this question, it might be important to offer a broader characterization of participants who leave marginalia other than Morse's (2005) description of simply being "dissatisfied." Looking at the rich range of examples provided by researchers both in this special section (Fahs, 2016, pp amson, Gooberman-Hill, Woolhead, & Donovan, 2004;Clayton et al, 1999;Galasiński & Kozłowska, 2010;Mallinson, 2002;McHatton & May, 2013;Powel & Clark, 2005;Smith, 2008), participants' motives for leaving marginalia are far more complex than simply being dissatisfied with the survey.
