Indeed I find the list one of my best resources and when I have some
doubt on a subject, I search the old posts.
Kind regards,

That's encouraging Alan. Thanks. Concerning the number of posts you
are right - there are fewer now. I would like to think it's because we
have an archive now, and people profit from past answers rather than
asking the same questions over again, which used to be common. Or
perhaps its because there are now more channels of information.
While the number of posts has diminished, the number of members has
grown continually. There are now more than 1500, but some well known
names only post when they see a particularly interesting question.
Whenever there is a good question, we receive good answers.
As for insults, I thought Radovan's "cleavage between Troglodytes and
Tweeters" was quite amusing. And every time we have a little
controversy, we get new members.
One shouldn't assume that because fewer people post, there are fewer
people interested. But certainly prepare a graph if you wish. Just
don't post it to all 1500+ members :-)
Kind regards, Alan.
