But members become inactive for many different reasons and some return after a gap of weeks, months and years. And of course some folks pass away too. On the other hand you don't have to be a member to visit the site and read all the different forums and contributions including everything that takes place on the bino forum. As a non-member you can't post but then the vast majority of visitors don't post anyway. For example PeterPS's review of a GPO has had more than 9,000 hits but only 78 posts, and one of my old reviews had about 25 members posting on it but had over 12,000 hits the last time I looked.So yes the number of 'active' registered members is less than 250,000 but this is undoubtedly augmented by many regular visitors who aren't registered because they don't wish to post.Lee</blockquote>
