Ignore the previous message. My finger slipped. 

I don't know what the ratio is.
I do know that most people who register are not on this list,
and I get lots of enquiries from people who are using Euphoria
but are not on this list.

I use a lot of different software tools, and I am not
subscribed to any mailing lists or discussion forums
for those tools. I get by with the docs that are supplied,
and whatever I can find out by searching the Web.
Just because someone uses some software, doesn't mean they
want to spend half an hour every day reading about what
other people are doing with that software, assuming they
are good English speakers in the first place. Also I
believe there are a lot of lurkers, who don't subscribe, 
let alone post, but just skim through certain messages, 
and occasionally search the message archives.
