The " viewing " numbers show there are many readers who look in with interest / amusement / intent but only a handfull ever post. A bit like standing in the pub ( well how it used to be ) with the usual suspects taking the floor and the rest mumbling in the background or shuffling their feet instead of saying what's on their mind or plucking up the courage to ask a question or worse still knowing the answer to someones problem but too shy to speak up.
Most of the older guys are still around, some still post on here, most can be found elsewhere in a more subdued atmosphere, but still giving good advice.
