[DUG] What is the future for Delphi programmer? - summary

[Anthony Dowling]

Hi John,

I have been on this list for quite some time now, an avid follower of all the threads that come up.  However 99% of the time (this being the other 1%) i am quite happy to just lurk and read other peoples responses.

The reality is i DO have the time, interest, and knowledge to respond to many threads, however i usually prefer to sit back and watch how others respond to the threads and eventually they develop till a point where there is a response that would be similar to anything i would post anyways.

I do apologise that this does not help build the community, but i would be reasonably confident there are a few people in the same boat as me, that just like to lurk.

Cheers

Anthony.

Thanks for that Gary

I'm actually quite surprised about this relatively high number of DUG members. At the same time I'm equally surprised about the low number of replies to this questionnaire (ONLY 11%). Note that this questionnaire started before the holidays on the 12th of December, so the holidays should not be an excuse.
My gut feeling is that:
                10% are 'active' DUG members submitting regularly to the list with questions and answers :-)
                50% are interested however just don't have the time, interest or knowledge to reply :-(
                40% may not even know that they are still on the list

Given that  I wonder how many members usually show up on a Delphi seminar? I would not be surprised this number would be less than 10%.

Cheers
John

HI all,

Currently 212 confirmed members on the Delphi List. The Mailman Listserver automatically removes subscribers if their emails bounce > 5 times, so the figure is reasonably accurate.

cheers

Oh, for me: yes, yes, yes(PHP),php/js
