My data point is similar to datagirl's.  Also regarding cliques, I don't see that here.  There may be and I'm in one so don't see it.  But remember my first post here was asking you guys about starting a greyhound resort, of all things.  Not one of you called me insulting names or chased me out the door with a broom.  I call that welcoming.   ;D

"I'd almost be willing to say there are no people who regularly read but don't post, except that the statistics say there's 2,110 page views a day and 41 people online each day.".

Then you'd be wrong.  I have visited this board almost daily going back years and years and years, even unto the days when Janet Ruhled.  And yet, most topics are covered so well here, and my time on this planet so short, that I rarely post.  Unless I have something really special to add.

I am in an advanced state of age and decrepitude, and what the old say carries no weight.  But, friends, I tell you this, there are basically two things that make my day: being a regular reader here, and being regular.  And please take that as a compliment.

On a little more serious note:  on an almost daily basis, I pass through the hallowed virtual halls of this board, and the "discussions involving (our) collapsing environment" board, and others like it, because the boots on the ground will be the first to recognize the glorious day that I hope, I pray, is no longer far off...

And the great pestilence that has afflicted our great IT land shall melt away,
And the corporate intransigence shall be brought low,
And the borkers shall be humbled, and we shall have dominion over them once again,
And the lion and the calf shall lie down together (though the calf won't get much sleep),
And we shall be made righteous again.
Amen.
