Without actually counting everyone's mail preference, I did a little
"representative" math and I figure less than 30% of the List members receive the
posts made here. I'll go out on a limb and say that it's most likely the same
for KUR (and a good percentage of the posts there are strictly for vine tracking
purposes) - tho' their forums are not really an 'email list'. I belong to
another, much smaller, group that has a little better than half the members
receiving the messages directly...
In all of these, only a small percentage of the members actually respond
themselves.
Some folks prefer to lurk, I guess. I know that I check-in at KUR every
day, but I only respond when I have something to say - a lurker by default if
you will...
I visited a new FZ yahoogroup the other day. There was activity, but not
what the membership number would indicate as really "active". I perused a page
of messages, and found all of it rather pedestrian - no one really had anything
to say. I didn't join.
Let's consider the Zappa forums for a moment. There's a TON of stuff to
read there, every Zappafan in the world has thrown in their two cents - but,
really, how much of that is discussion worthy. Not much, IMO. So numbers don't
always mean much. The content 'says' a lot more.
The folks who post here seem to have more to actually say - the reason that
I love this List.
Sorry to have bored anyone...
Music is the BEST!
