I do not agree.
Plenty of people are willing to give plenty of help on this list, but personally, I want to know for what I am volunteering, if it involves more than a quick answer or hack. I get a lot of questions (mostly off-list) "Urgent help needed, please do X, need it for term paper by Y, signed student name Z". Personally, I am not very willing to help in such cases.
What is he (!) going to use the data for, with whom is he going to share it, will it be published? Is it just going to be a note sent to his teacher? What aspects of the software does he want to know about? Why not send out a small survey with 5 or 10 questions? Just one of these in one sentence would be enough.
Just my preference, enough said,

Not fair, she was just trying to get input.
Companies are often not forthcoming with pricing information. "You need to know how much??"
List prices are fantasy.
I would be interested in seeing her report.
Instead of questioning why a person would ask a question it is better to give them the answer.
Cheers,
Mike
