bierman Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Well, as one who does not post much, I will say it can be a bit intimidating to post on this forum sometimes. There is a high level of knowledge among the members here, especially among the most active posters. I am hesitant to add anything to most threads as I don't feel that I have enough knowledge and experience to really make a worthwhile contribution. "Better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt". On the other hand, I have learned tons by lurking. JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've learned as much from C and B level shooters as from GMs --- it's just different. GMs can shave lots of time off certain techniques, if they spend five minutes with you at the safe table. Your fellow competitors --- trying to excel --- can teach you just as much, if you watch them run stages and then evaluate their results....

High Lord Gomer Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) I now turn off my electronic muffs when I shoot since the better shooters were using me as a teaching aide... Now watch Gomer....don't do that....or that....and definitely not that....Now why in the heck would ANYONE want to do that?!? Oh yeah, and... That's what I like about you, Mike...you're stoopid!

magicald_223 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 That's still alot of shooters...this forum rocks. I learn something new on here everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 My situation here is somewhat unique so I'm not a typical forum member. However, I have learned an incredible amount of stuff by just being here for several years and 'listening' to all the other experts do their thing. Moreover, I make it a point to regularly click on posts that are subjects I know little or nothing about. Without fail, each and every time, I learn something so utterly interesting that I wonder why I don't do it more often. This is truly a forum about learning and respectful social interaction.

Paul Burtchell Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 It's the Pareto Principle a.k.a. the 80/20 rule. About 20% or less of the members make 80% or more of the posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukerdog Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I too have to say thank you for all I have learned. Sometimes I can't get the answer to a question up fast enough, some people here are not only fast draws but fast thinkers also. Like SiG Lady said I've learned something new here everyday and I am grateful I found this place. You guys and gals ROCK!!! Looking forward to the New Year.

Hank Ellis Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 We now have 20,010 registered members on this forum... 10,228 of whom have never posted..... The numbers are not out of line with online forums. I once ran the numbers on one firearms forum that gets posts from all over the planet. About half the registered users never posted. Just ran the numbers from my local shooting forum. 4150 registered users. 2054 have never posted. Of the 4150 I'm sure there are more than a few who have multiple screen names depending on which personality is talking in their head that day.
