I don't beleive it, you bitch about the quality of the articles and you want MORE, man you are a masochist. Some of us do the decent thing and don't write (crap) articles, this is a blessing for you guys who need to vet them.

I haven't written an article yet, or even posted a message until this one, as I haven't had anything useful to add. Maybe once I write some software that hasn't already got a mountain of (good) information on the subject... until then I'll stay in the shadows.

I never said I wanted more. I was just illustrating the difference between the number of people posting articles, and the number of registered users. Just 0.002 percent of the population have submitted articles.

You seem to assume that a fair % of people can write articles, I would strongly disagree, writing is an art and that includes technical writing (maybe especially). Nope I'll stay out here as a fluffy lurker thank you.

Fewer than 10,500 users have posted at least one article here. I wonder how many of those were relegated to purgatory and are still being counted.

Nowhere did I say that I thought everyone (or even a reasonably high percentage) could or should write an article. I was just putting numbers up there. Like I said - it's an interesting demographic.
