3,000 members? That's cool but begs the question: where are all of your
opinions and ideas? The ratio of posters to lurkers on this list is one of
the poorest I've experienced on the internet - it might as well be a
newsgroup like alt.sex.stories - where everybody lurks and nobody talks.

I joined this list hoping to find a wide diversity of honest industry
inside experience, to have adiscussion with as large a group of smart
people as possible - I'm finding that while you all may be very smart, you
sure don't say much...

Maybe the moderator is editing out most of your responses? Maybe you can
all read, but you haven't learned the subtle art of typing - and are
waiting for a place to point and click with your mice ... I don't know.
But it sure would be nice to hear from you. I'm thinking that you are the
largest group of mutes in the advertising business.

Maybe you all have better things to do with your ideas than post them
online for the rest of us to criticize, ridicule, flame and finally to
implement without your consent.

I for one am not afraid of throwing my opinions out there because I know
that very few of you will have anything to say about it.

Quit being such whimps and contribute right now or I'm dropping off of the
list - I warn you, I'll leave, I mean it, really, I'll never post again!
