steve:
At most on a poll I may get just over 30 people to vote.
We have over 4300 users. ..
The polls, all polls, OFTEN bring out ‘way more numbers of overall members than actively posting members!
i’m often curious about who these silently-voting folks are, and wish they would engage.
i see it as part+parcel of the MD-MN phenomena.
on MD, there would be occasional posts attempting to lure them into discussion! some comical. (thinkin’ Country Boy.)
poor results. some are DEDICATED READERS. quiet. CB has become quiet!
i do NOT presume any quiet person has NOTHING TO SAY.
often, once they find their voice, they have PLENTY to say, often not anything expected.
it can be fascinating.
early in my MD experience, i was fortunate to visit IRL with a couple of members+wives.
both wives were regular readers, never posting.
i think there are quite a few family members who read but do not post. maybe much more in the past, when MD was more of a new thing, when family computers were more common, before so many individual devices and so many online options.
i had the impression, when FB took quite a few MD members, some who had been quiet on MD, opened up on FB.
not sure, i didn’t get into FB much, or in a conventional way.
steve,
you may not be satisfied with the response you receive here. but you probably receive as much or more “traffic” as any.
my guess is, more.
