Hey Ron, Congrats on the growth of the list! Now if only you can somehow get all of these people to participate. I count only 15 members that have posted to the list to this date. I hate to be so negative, but 15% participation is pretty poor. It always surprises me that so many people feel it is a good idea to join a list like this, however they don't feel it is a good idea to post to the same. Maybe some of the lurkers (the definition of a lurker is someone that views the discussion but does not participate in the same) could explain the reluctance to participate. I suppose though, that if one is a lurker, you may not be predisposed to answering such a question. I struggle with why this type of format doesn't work with OT. I have seen other lists, for other disciplines, which flourish (one in particular that is geared toward PTs, but focuses on management issues averages between 10 to 20 posts per day). Believe me, I'm not attempting to hurt feelings or overtly criticize anyone. I'm just interested in continuation of what I feel is a much needed medium for dialogue between OT professionals.
Where do we go from here?

Toady, we reached our 99th member! This is phenomenal growth,considering that the OTlist started a couple of weeks ago with just 30-some members. So far, the safety features of the list are working perfect! Of course as the list grows, so will our vulnerability to virus attacks. As usual, I want to encourage everyone to "advertise" the list. You can direct people to www.otnow.com for the most up to date information. Also, don't forget about the OTboard at www.otnow.com/otbb There are still messages being posted their. Finally, remember that when you post or reply to a message on the OTlist, it is going to all readers AND (this is a big AND), it is posted on the Mail-Archive for ANYONE to read! If you haven't visited the Mail-Archive, take a minute to do so. It's a great resource!! That's it for now!! Thanks, Ron -- Unsubscribe?
