When I think of MOPO, I think sellers/dealers. And if there are only 25
members
that post, it's because it's that 25 sellers/dealers that like to talk to each
other. And by talking I mean discussion/answers to posts. Not comments, like
"I agree", "Thanks for the good article", etc.
It's like going to a party, and you're the only one in a suit and tie. And
someone says "who invited that guy?".

I know 4 people who read MOPO but would never post. And I mean never. If you
extrapolate something the same for all of us who do post, that's pretty much
the
membership.
If you deduct all the FS and FA posts, including the ones that don't have FS/FA
but really are more like FU I don't need no rules, then the number of real
posts
is far, far less.
If you deduct all the follow-on posts that say, 'I agree with Bruce, Kirby,
Rich, et al" as a response and without adding any other comment to the
discussion at hand, then the number of real posts that are about "something",
then you lose even more.
This has been a post about nothing, related to something.
