Default Re: OT = How Does Shrapnel Stay In Business

There's an old rule of thumb that goes all the way back to the days of FidoNet, at least. For every person who Posts to a message board, there are about ten "lurkers" who read the Boards but rarely if ever post.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
