Carl, allow me to piggy back on your email if I may. Carl is focusing on actual need from the internet community, and when we met last winter in New Mexico, we chatted about what people wanted versus what the community of diallists want.
For the NASS and BSS to grow, there perhaps needs to be a focus on what the non members seek, as that is where all future members come from. For NASS and BSS to maintain membership however, then member interests should be a focus. The end result is two divergant areas of interest. I have added a page to my website covering 12 months of actual use of files as well as web pages. I have tried to make no interpretations, but simply present percentage data on actual file and page usage by classification, and I also added some notes of interest. If you are interested on what internet users looked at and downloaded over a 12 month period on my web site, please go to this web link. www.illustratingshadows.com/zz-actual-interest The bulk of hits are referred to me by general google search engines, then next they come come from this email list/listserv web site, then next from NASS and BSS about equally, and then other dial web sites. The bulk are from a general google search and thus suggest a wide demographic group. This is not fuly scientific since not all documents were available for the entire period, and many other considerations not evaluated. This is raw data, and presented for your interest only.
