Hi John, I have been on this list for quite some time now, an avid follower of all the threads that come up. However 99% of the time (this being the other 1%) i am quite happy to just lurk and read other peoples responses.
The reality is i DO have the time, interest, and knowledge to respond to many threads, however i usually prefer to sit back and watch how others respond to the threads and eventually they develop till a point where there is a response that would be similar to anything i would post anyways. I do apologise that this does not help build the community, but i would be reasonably confident there are a few people in the same boat as me, that just like to lurk. Cheers Anthony.

At the same time I'm equally surprised about the low number of replies to this questionnaire (ONLY 11%). Note that this questionnaire started before the holidays on the 12th of December, so the holidays should not be an excuse. My gut feeling is that: 10% are 'active' DUG members submitting regularly to the list with questions and answers :-) 50% are interested however just don't have the time, interest or knowledge to reply :-( 40% may not even know that they are still on the list Given that I wonder how many members usually show up on a Delphi seminar? I would not be surprised this number would be less than 10%. Cheers John From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Gary T.

The Mailman Listserver automatically removes subscribers if their emails bounce > 5 times, so the figure is reasonably accurate. cheers Gary List Admin Oh, for me: yes, yes, yes(PHP),php/js Gary Benner MNZCS ITCP ________________________________ Semantic Limited<http://www.semantic.co.nz> - Online Education, e-Commerce, Software Development & Systems Design 123 Internet Limited<http://www.123.net.nz> - Managed Web Hosting, Virtualisation, High Availability Systems & Cluster Technologies Mob: 021 966 992 DDI: +64 7 543 1206 Email: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Skype: garybenner Ref#: 41006
