well, when the 'survey' threads are started, we seem to get 75-100 'regulars' who answer the questions, but you can go to your personal page and look at the list of 'members' under email and personal message lists and count ...I am sure there are several hundred who have allowed Max to set a cookie and get access to the privileges...and probably hundreds more who just look for songs in the data base sometimes...

what really interests me is, why are there so few of us? I **KNOW** some people who have computers, know enormous amounts of stuff about music, and simply choose not to get involved..(and a couple who did, but stopped)...I guess for some, it is the fear of addiction and lost time...others (and I have heard this said) do not know how to 'talk' in a forum like this...they do not see screen names as 'real people'....
Of course, numbers here will gradually grow, and that can be both a positive and a negative..(lots more interesting chatters...but 2-3 times as many threads to try to follow)...I have my own opinions as to what will happen and what should happen, but, as they say, we shall see...
