    The statistics of who posts how much seem to follow most of the internet
    sites and mailing lists that I belong to. It is usually twenty to fifty or
    so folks who generate 80 percent of the posts. I think this is now the norm
    for internet posting, and we are fortunate to have those people who will
    donate their time to share their expertise.

    As a friend of mine said "Never deprive yourself of the joy of helping
    others."
