The first part of this discussion is tacked onto my Idea Factory thread, and may be read there before posting here. Basically it began with a question, one we ask ourselves every so often as an organization: How can we encourage our less- or non-active subscribers to participate in the Forum? One person thought the 'regulars' were dominating the discussion out of a desire to do so; his respondent pointed out that no one is *keeping* the quiet ones from posting, they just haven't been doing so for reasons ranging from newbie shyness to lack of time. At last Draco rescued the discussion-to-date by noting that our ratio of posters-to-subscribers is quite a bit better than that of some other, much larger organizations we might know of, and...

In amicitia (In Friendship),
