How many ACTIVE members do we have?

[Catch 22]

A few thoughts from the (mostly) silent majority. I don't doubt that a very high percentage of posters are one-timers, but I think that there is a fair number of lurkers as well. I tend to read others posts quite often, but respond only occasionally. This is because, in most cases, I am more likely to learn than to be able to present relevant knowledge. You can be sure that when I have a question that needs answering, I will ask it. Conversely, when I have the answer to a question, I will respond.
Requiring registration boosts the numbers with one-timers, but it serves a very valuable purpose. Namely, keeping the board clear of inflammatory posts. There are so few on this board compared to a fly fishing board I frequent, where registration is optional.
Lastly, (for now) Roberto's original post was on a weekend, and it seems to me that there are fewer posts on the weekends. Maybe it's because we are busier doing other things on weekends, maybe it's because most people are posting from work, or maybe something else, but that's just my take on it.
