Apologies to all but I'm a bit of a data nut. I think in the early days of the new forum there was some concern about the huge number of members. Maybe some members thought the forum was about to be taken over by newbies 
. So, an hour or so ago I thought it might be interesting to look at the forum membership and post statistics. Obviously, I'm waiting for watches to arrive otherwise I'd have other things to do with my time. :-[
Any way, at the time, excluding administrator, moderators and librarians ie Members only, there were 1961 posts from 1239 members. It is interesting (to me anyway) to see how many Members have contributed those posts.
921 members have contributed 0 (zero) posts, total posts 0 (zero)
268 members have contributed 1 - 10 posts each, total posts 866
34 members have contributed 11 - 20 posts each, total posts 475
7 members have contributed 21 - 30 posts each, total posts 169
3 members have contributed 31 - 40 posts each, total posts 105
3 members have contributed 41 - 50 posts each, total posts 141
3 members have contributed >50 posts each, total posts 205! (don't you guys sleep?)
Any conclusions? Obviously, most members are happy to lurk and just read the Forum. Nowt wrong with that, I was one of those for a long time; I guess we all were.
The majority of "active" members just seem to chip in occasionally (this forum needs a spell checker).
Over half of the posts come from about 4% of the membership. And a STAGGERING 10% of the posts have been made by just 3 members.
Hope I've got these numbers right. At least it kept me busy for an hour or so.
To those who feared a "coup d'etat" was imminent, I think we can all sleep easy in our beds.
Kind regards
Dave
