There used to be a rule of thumb ("90:10:1", although that doesn't add up
) that only ten per cent of members of fora/groups take any "on-going" interest in the groups they join and that only one per cent actually contribute more than one or two mails/articles/pictures ....
Some people join just to spam (and are intercepted), some join to ask one question, quite a few just sit and read feeling that they have nothing to contribute (usually wrongly, I think). Others possibly have died
while others are simply shy.
So join the elite!

Apologies to any regular contributors who I forgot to mention but I am now in my fifties and the brain cells are dying at an amarling rate
I suspect that there is a hardcore group of only a few hundred regular contributors, it that, but I hope I am wrong as it seems pointless to me to join a brilliant site such as this and then not contribute to discussions, most of which are either serious, funny or tongue in cheek, not to mention educational. |
