    Tom's list has approx 190, FZAOINT approx 230,
Elma aprox 70.

   I judge by those who post, as I don't have, or
havn't looked at membership data. There are not many
on Tom's list that are on FZAOINT. Elma list people
are mostly on FZAOINT. So in total 350-400 maybe.
I think the general net average of 10% regularly
posting is about right. Elma is higher here.

  I too would like to see more in FZ. In fact
its the main part of my job description. :)

   There are many other people active in the FZ not on
any of these lists in US. I don't really know how
many.

  Ron's Orgs in Europe are  bigger than all three
lists combined. 30 centers in Former Russian states
alone. A new one in Holland, and so on. They have
been going for 20 years or so.

  The 3 internet orgs have been in existence for
nearly 3 years now. Until now I think expansion could
be described as adequate. I don't know all activity
that goes on. I sometimes find some I didn't know
about. There are groups forming in the Bay area, New
York, and Florida. We are very rich in tech personnel.


  I believe that as we get bigger,  activity will
accelerate.. Currantly many people are not close to
tech terminals. This situation is improving all the
time.
