Hey,
thanks Helene for bringing that point back into my mind. Of cause not all of our members are active. But we go around and state that we have about 500 members. We don´t know how much of them are acually dead mailadresses so you are probably right. The census tells us (a guess at least) how many people are active. I know that there are a lot more people who just don´t participate on a regular basis, but I think we should think about the real active members.
Thanks Rafael for your idea. We discussed that a lot of times before and it is just not working. We also tried a standard participationform in the past, but the people didn´t like it and kept mailing their stock. With all the experience of the past I personally feel that the way we do it right know is as userfriendly as possible. There are new technological ways of cause, but everyone is used to mailing (well not everyone but most of our members) and there are a lot of people who have problems with upcoming software. I am sorry to say that, but this is the playground of our generation and not the majority of our members. Maybe in the future we could install a dual system, but at the moment I don´t see a need for that.
Best regards,
Bennie
