The list shows activity by each subscriber. I didn't count but my visual scan indicated that only about 1/3 of the subscribers have ever posted. I counted those with the largest number of posts. If falls off rather quickly. I am guessing here but I think that about five people account for half the traffic. I hope the lurkers find the posts interesting to read, perhaps some are prople who subscribed, got disgusted, but never unsubscribed. Or, perhaps I should remind people that this is an open list, not the private property of only a few, everyone is invited to participate. I hope that perhaps this will insprire some who have only been reading to join in. I have not looked at the statistics of the Pure-silver list where I am also an administrator. I will and see if the distribution is similar. Perhaps this is true of most mailing lists. -- Richard Knoppow dickburk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Los Angeles, CA, USA
