Start with 4000 individual users, over 4300 registered, and it gets even more depressing. They aren't even inactive,
they are lurkers. Probably more people attending BMC UserWorld than have voted. There are lessons to be learned here, just don't care to think about what they are at the moment. On the other hand, if 1/10 of the people I know on the list that haven't voted vote, we are okay. .

Dan states that there are in excess of 3000 registered users. We'll round that down to 3000 even. Let's say 50% of those registered users are inactive. Now we're at 1500. Let's say another 50% of those users are as you described....occasional users and never glance at the list until the need arises. Now were down to 750. Of those, 50% are in the hospital and have been unable to use a computer in the last month. Now we're down to 375. Of those 375, surely there are enough dedicated users to get 150 votes. :-) Regards, Tim _____ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG <mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG> ] On Behalf Of Susan Palmer Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2007 4:15 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG <mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG> Subject: Re: ARSList Awards: Some yes, some no.MVP not enough yet! ** I think we've failed to recognize that the composition of the arslisters is different than it used to be. Just like bmc is changing the applications to be 'non-development' OOB applications we may have many listers that do not read the list on a regular basis. They send an email if they have an issue, get the answer, and then don't come back until they have another question. I go through the arslist emails every day. I find it therapeutic to know others have far more issues than I do and more importantly to learn about things I may never come across. I may not remember all of it off hand but I know I've seen something about it and can find it later. Maybe core arslisters have to adjust their expectations of the list. OR maybe the others just NEED TO VOTE !!! Susan On 10/4/07, Daniel Bloom <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: ** Okay folks.
