I know we've had this discussion before. I must also apologize for my Sam Beckett memory. Would someone please tell me again what percentage of active posters is 42?

Bureaucracy 4: Like Job. No, really, just like Job
A thread to discuss naming threads, board policy, new thread suggestions, and anything else that has to do with board administration and maintenance. Guaranteed to include lively debate and polls. Natter discouraged, but not deleted.
Current Stompy Feet: Jon B, P.M. Marcontell, Liese S., amych, msbelle, shrift, Dana, Laura
Stompy Emerita: ita, DXMachina
Define "active"!
(Seriously. We had that discussion during our painful constitutional birthing period, decided that we'd never agree on most-recent-posting vs post-frequency vs posts-in-which-threads vs ..., and 42 is an awesome number and the meaning of life the universe and everything. Hey, don't we have a cheesebutt...?)
OK, how about, total registered 'ffistas? My wee (and pretty much moot) point is that 42 is a small number.
And the 42 came about magically -- people could just enter any number and we took the mean.
Voting Buffistas is probably a more meaningful number. Most of the registered members don't read, probably, much less participate in the constitutional process even by conscious abstention.
And yes, it is a small number.

Really? That's fascinating! (Seriously.) If I'm not dark-grey, I vote.
There are over 2300 registered users. A small percentage of them post, much less vote.
