Checking the membership page I discover there over 5500 members. I believe it is almost impossible to cull out the membership. If I pass away I will still be listed as a member as there will be no one to notify the Village. Also there may be many who have left the hobby for many reasons. In spite of this there must be a very large members who never participate or seldom participate. I agree that not everyone has the time I have being retired but I'm amazed at how little participation there has been for quite some time. I also agree that not everyone is a big mouth like me and a few others who shall remain unnamed. Travis works diligently to provide an interesting Village. Have people moved on to Facebook? I see many, many groups there of which I am a member but don't get very active there. The Village is home to me. I'm just perusing. I would like to see a little more participation. OK, I'm finished for now.
