Hey Brett, True, but I think Terry has a good point. I does seem as though the list has not been growing lately. I suppose this might have started occurring when RT "commercialized" last year. Not too many newbie questions and not too many newbies, though a sign of maturity for the list, it does indicate slowdown in growth.
Maybe its time for some guerrilla marketing tactics? Hmmm... I have an idea that might just work.... Anybody know how many people are on this list? --Ryan Brett Handley wrote: > My understanding is that there is a large number of people on this list who > may have never posted.
