The forums and NUG are probably only the tip of the iceberg (certainly if Geoff's numbers are right and there are more than 100,000 users). However I have this crazy notion that there might be a correlation between the quantity of people on the NUG and forums, and the total quantity of users. That's why I have the impression that if the activity on the NUG and forums goes down, then the total number of real users goes down in the same proportion. Another explanation could be that if there are mainly Mac users on the NUG and the NUG activity lowers, then RS is only bleeding its Mac customers, but the overall customer base might perhaps still grow. I dunno, and as you said we'll probably never know. At any rate, there are still plenty of us out here. That's for sure! :-) Cheers, Marc _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe or switch delivery mode: <http://www.realsoftware.com/support/listmanager/> Search the archives: <http://support.realsoftware.com/listarchives/lists.html>
