Forum activity

Neil,

Thanks for that clarification. It confirms the impression I had formed that, despite the pretty big membership, the active posters on the forum are relatively few. But nevertheless, I think this forum is a very valuable resource.

I think that the active posters on the BB probably have more access time (free time)to contribute than others do with the possibility that numerous members may be in contact with computers thru their employment or extended leisure time.

With the numerous computer tasking employment facilities that abound in this day and age many are able to be on line and have access to the BB whereas others may only have access from the home front and when they do there with the numerous posts they face their limited time is restricted to "lurking" and only responding to those posts of interest...I know I do with the time restrictions I personally have and am often annoyed that I cannot have the time to have more input these days as I might have done previously but circumstances are always changing in our busy lives that puts different constraints on our needs in regards to time.

When I first joined this BB the time spent on it was obviously regulated to a large extent by the content offered up whereas now it has grown from adolescence to maturity that can involve you for hours on end with the now content being offered up, which is testament to the terriffic job Neil and his administrators have achieved in producing a fine selfless product bringing together all of same ilk.

The active posters are always there some with a lot to say, some with little,but lets not detract from the fact that any input may be of some assistance to that someone seeking the key points to his/her needs.
It is without a doubt that some will always contribute more than others ...that is their nature whilst others will offer up where they feel they can perhaps with their own limitations in their experiences and as the BB grows nothing will change.....for that is mankind.
Cheers
