Frankly, I'm amazed by this, as it is the forum recommended by Mapinfo.
Surely anyone with a large user base would be interested in contributing and
taking part? If not,
Andrew,
I would be very interested in the number of users who are actually
represented by this list. I think from memory there are over 2000
subscribers. I would hazard a guess at an average of say, 50 users
represented by each MapInfo-L'er. That accounts for 100,000 users, and

surficial geology political oceanographic boundaries, and diverse kinds of
