I believe we are closer to a chat and lurkers group-- with 600 members we
must offer something or as we all realize, lists can be a real pain to keep
cleaned up.  I don't know how many regularly post but I would guess less
than 50.
 
I have noticed that very few University and other "research types" (don't
get upset as we all do some reaearch)  post to this list.. I believe that by
the nature a list that the mail just swamps their E mail and becomes a
problem to wade through.  At least I hope so, and I hope it is not
dis-interest on their part.
There are some some very good web sites at Florida,  Montana,, Sweden that I
have pulled off this list that could offer the members a lead for E mail
contacts if one would wish to explore a subject ..
 
I believe this list acts as a clearing house for information, help,
resources and above all a repository of experience that even "the University
types should be monitoring and contributing to"--at least informing us of
what research is going on.
 
THE LIST IS A LIVING THING AND WILL EBB AND FLOW AS THE MEMBERS WISH BY
PARTICIPATION     RELAX AND ENJOY
