Thankyou to everybody for correcting my grammer, I am now considered told
off.
Back to QLToday. Question, how do we get more people to write stuff ?
It is clear from the posts on here, that there is still a good following and
lots of good stuff going on. But it does not all get written up for the
wider audience.
Seems to me, down to a very small number that contribute. One item from
every QL user would keep us going for years. But we have all seen the
appeals for material, and nothing seems to come.
To use the buzz word from my own industry (Broadcast TV), it's all down to
content. We need content.

Sad though this is, I have to say it seems me inevitable this was
going
to happen sooner or later. The constant increase in postal rates is
self
defeating, the more they go up, the less poeple send.
Really - so one leg is sending letters (8-)#
You mean 'fewer' of course.
"the less people send" means "the same number of people send less in
total".
Not at all, but maybe it is different in Glasgow (8-)#
'Less' and 'Fewer' are referring to 'people' not the letters.
Fewer - when the noun can be counted. People, marbles
Less - when it cannot. Flour, petrol.
Why say there is less sand on the beach when you could, if you had time,
count the grains?
The other meaning would presumably be written as
"the smaller the number of people who send"
Anyway postage is rather high now and certainly to be avoided if
possible.
