Let's do some math. According to the statistics page here, there are 39,934 members and 1167 active members. So let's say these gatherings pull in I'm sure at least 2-300 people on average. That's still less than 30% of active users and less than 1% of all members. Now, I'm not a math teacher, but not sure how this is any kind of a valid argument.
On top of that, 1 in every 6 comments come from just 10 people!(yes, 600,000 comments, top ten posters is about 100,000) Yea....um...... well, I'm sure you get the picture.
Maybe, just maybe, as some others have mentioned, some people just live realistically, have worked or work for TV, know people or have family members still working for TV, or have had real experiences outside the recreational world of TV. Don't get me wrong, we are happy here and have met awesome people here, but.......
been told that before, and it's in this thread somewhere...the new people that don't show their face can't be trusted...to paraphrase... I'm too old to need someone to validate and comment on my every thought. I like the info that can be gleaned on here, but there is a definite perceived "ownership" of this forum by some...doesn't take long to figure it out and I always feel sorry for the newbie that gets jumped on first time out...it's not helpful, and couch it however you want, not
nice...
