John,

Take a Ridalin or something. No need to get hysterical just because I asked a question of you.

But the facts:

Your "couple of hundred" number is patently ridiculous from a rational, empirical standpoint.

First off, you don't define what active is insofar as UT participants. Fine. Whatever. Most people use the UT to ask questions; it's only a small minority of us who hang out here socially. So if people only post a question or a comment here once or twice a month, they are not part of the community?

Secondly, you are ignoring active participants on the Wiki, at PortalFox (hell, you probably don't even know what PortalFox is), on the comp.database newsgroups, on the microsoft.public newsgroups, on the numerous foreign Fox websites, on the esp (Spanish) newsgroups, on the deu (German) newsgroups......need I go on?


>I contend that the UT, which is the focal point of the Fox community, numbers only a few hundred active participants. All the while, there is talk of the Fox community. I don't think it is as big as some would claim it to be. Seems to me that the most die heard people would be sure to take the survey. That number amounted to 315, not that it really matters...
