Re: eBook Community's Twelfth Anniversary: State of The Group Message

Jon,

I also agree with Brenna.  As a newbie to this list, I rarely 
participate in discussions, preferring to read and learn.  And I have 
learned-- a lot.  I would not have joined this list if it had been 
hosted on a forum-type web based board.  I far and away prefer this format.

I don't believe you can draw any firm inferences about the sharp drop in 
postings.  People come and go on lists all the time, and it may be that 
the current crop are less discursive than the previous ones.  But the 
membership as a whole remains strong, knowledgeable and helpful, and to 
me that is the main indicator that this is a very successful list.  As 
the published author of one, count 'em, one ebook, I need all the advice 
and knowledge I can lay my hands on.  This list is relevant and 
interesting just as it is.
