But I think the answer is that most people, even in this enlightened BBS, are still apathetic

I find that hard to agree with, in the last 24 hours, around 30 people have posted, the person with the least posts was around 120, the predominance about the 250 mark (yours), and many had a great deal more: That doesn't speak of passing interest.

Any more than the time and care people have taken to come up with answers to the questions that I've posted.
