I sent my neighbor to this site in the summer of 2006.
She hasn't spoken to me since.

Thanks there guy... appreciate your sense of righteous outrage & candor...
And there are a range of members who log in that's reflected by the stats you guys see on the forums. It's not real accurate, but it's close.
10/20 times that number in lurkers...
And no shortage of detractors...
It's a healthy forum, doing it's job I think.
Always fails to disappoint.
(I'd write more, but my Chinese handlers require my attention just now to silence our members ideas & to finger potential subversives in the coming economic invasion.) |
Hard to believe I ever wrote that post! I must have been in a bad mood that day. Come to think of it . . . I was seriously ill at the time, with reflex sympathetic dystrophy (a nerve disease that I finally overcame, after the most painful year of my life).
Interesting, now, to pair that post with the condition I was in at the time.

Amazingly, 819 of the members have made 100 postings or more! That seems to me to be a very high level of participation.

It's really a remarkable collection of people in the regular poster ranks.
I feel privileged to have an outlet like this to contribute to and learn from.
Thanks to all who make it work.
The interesting statistic to me would be how many members have posted more than five times in the last 30 days and who have been members for three months or more.
This would filter out the new guy who comes, throws out a big pile of posts and then is never heard from again. This happens a lot, I think.
But whatever, this is a great place, great people, smart people, great ideas, sis boom bam, hooray, have a nice day.
