Re: [ga] Proposal: New Cross-constituency mailing list

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for your post.
  Perhaps I could help you more if you told me where you got the fact that "most have given up"... You seem to have access to better stats than we do.
  Right around 5% voted for the current representation. Your participation is what makes the list real.
  It is understood that the list membership is a bit over 200. They have to actively subscribe and not unsubscribe. I assume that if they are signed up to get, sometimes 100s,  of emails a day they are interested or lame. Vint Cerf I promise you thinks this list is real and monitors it.
  Just run a view searches in wherever you store the list data and you will be amazed. 
  If you go here and search you can find a Thomas Narten (retired BoD member) and his posting facts.

  Hello everyone

Can someone explain what percentage of subscribers to this list voted for this kind of representation? I imagine it is something like a fraction of a percentage, because most have given up trying to use this as any real forum for discussion, and instead dont bother to participate. 

I could hold an election for the president of the country and could win from a vote taken from 15 friends, it does not make it any more real.

  George did not vote in the last election for GA chair
in which Dr. Dierker was elected chair by a narrow margin,
but none the less elected.  He refused to for reasons
of his own not to participate which is his right of choice. 

As an example, many Americans did not vote in the last
national election ( about 48%) did.  The rest did not
exercise their right to vote.  In Texas my home state
in state elections only approx. 42% voted in state wide 
elections for state representatives ect.

  I see nor reason why George cannot, if he chooses to start
his own list and/or organization, and if he so chooses
make it a very exclusive one.
