Go to message 322463. I posted these stats two years ago...

The number I was referring to was the online community. I contend it numbers no more than a few hundred. At most, it numbers around a 1000. The number shouldn't surprise you that much. You and I had a conversation several years ago when you and I were on the same side when there was controversey up here regarding something. Back then, you were running stats on just how many people were active up here. Back then, it was still only a few hundred

>FWIW, looking at the Jan 2000 copy of FoxPro Advisor I have at hand, the paid circulation is over 8,000. From my experience of informal surveys of rooms full of people at Devcon and conferences, roughly half of these people are subscribers. Anybody have the Jan 2002 issue for the latest numbers?

>>You are right, I technically misquoted you. You did not say there are only 1000 VFP developers. In fact you said there are only a few hundred.
