Yes, I could, but if Jerry says this group has been around 15 years, that's bankable in my book. James the Inquisitor |

As for my own "membership," Google's advance search feature isn't working properly at the moment, so I don't know for sure. I seem to remember being invited here from AOL's old Coin and Currency Discussion Board (Jud would remember that). I lurked for a few weeks and made my first post on, if memory serves, April 14, 2000. I used a different screen name back then. Jerry |

Jerry Would you be able and willing to furnish us with your assessment of this ng over the period during which you have participated, in terms of level of knowledge of participants, number of participants, their willingness and ability to answer questions, civility, staying on topic, etc.? Some have commented on this from time to time, but always in an effort to put down another poster or posters, and I have a feeling that you could do a much more objective, impartial job of it. In other words, are we hellbent, or has there been nothing more than a change of players? I'll understand, of course, if you wish to make no comment. James the Taciturn |

James the Taciturn I think we'd all like to hear from Jerry on that. FWIW, to gauge the current participation, in April I did an analysis of thousands of rcc posts. Here's a reprise of what I found. I've only been posting here a few years so I don't know how this compares to the level of activity way back when, but this should be a pretty good estimate of the regular participants as of 4/18/09: Always an interesting question for any newsgroup. Just for grins, I looked at the more than 5,000 posts on rcc in 2009. It all depends on your definition of "regular" and there's no way to measure regular *readership* so I winnowed the list to regular *contributors*. I did this by eliminating: snip methodology - see my 4/18/09 post for details I ended up with 92 names. YMMV but that's more than I expected. It doesn't include our "regular lurker" readership (among which are those who even made a few posts but didn't meet the criteria outlined above for "regular contributors"). OTOH it includes a handful who met the contributor criteria but IMO might not be "regular readers". Given that this exercise was a bit loosey-goosey from the start - hey, this is UseNet, folks - I would just round it to claim an even 100 or so regular contributors plus an unknown number of lurkers. |
