When you say that many take and return nothing, that may be.

Or, as in my case, some people may not have the time to read all the
posts and so I'm only now responding to a post from 2 weeks ago. 

When a RT message comes out, my filter sends the messages to a R/T
folder. This folder has 1245 messages in it. A month or so back we were
getting multiple posts off the listserver, so triples and quadruple
posts were coming in. Those are gone now, yet my folder has 1245 posts,
mostly from the last two weeks.

It may be that some glean info and give nothing back; it also may be
that there are so many posts that it's not practical to keep up.

I keep the "membership" because I like to read but I'm certainly not
trying to take without giving back. If I had something I would tell but
I'm one of those undercapitalized daytraders, so by the time I mentioned
it the trade would be over.

Just kidding, I happened to just finish off the string of messages on daytrading.
