Well we learnt quite a few things from this pointless exercise. Thanks to -Z- we now know that are 271 email addresses on the list. In about 8 hours (in Eastern US office hours on a weekday), we had about 20 _human_ responders. That's pretty low. We probably should have a whole week before jumping to conclusions. But it's not too crazy to suggest that well under half of the 271 email addresses represent a real human reader. That's just the way it is, there are only about 10 active posters and probably under 150 actual readers. Along this line, Gunota gets about 3400 unique visitors a day. Where's GML in the grand scheme of things? Would we be happier if GML sits somewhere above 10% of Gunota's readership? Anyway if you watch the human behaviors (not listserve's functionality) you would probably agree that if and when we move to a GML Mk.III we will have difficulty moving people (not just the email addresses) over. No matter how clear and simple we make it. Remember the move from Mk.I to Mk.II? Months after the move we were still getting stragglers "discovering" us and said things like "no one told me there's a move!". Who knows how many we lost permanently? -- Dr. Core -------------------------------------------------- The Gundam Mailing List MK-II [email protected] Archives: http://www.gundam.com/gml Help: Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this in the BODY: help list
