<< Let me be specific. Forum posts began in February, and as of Nov. 30 they

not five or six.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with a scholarly interchange on
the Gospel of Mark--which is why I will stop here.

I don't blame Tony for stopping. If he went any further with his analysis he
would find that the numbers support my argument.

The archives show that since September 3, 33 posts posts have been made to
the list; five of them were administrative announcements, and five more dealt
with the current, non-substantive controversy. That leaves just 23
gospel-related posts since September 3, almost four months. By my reckoning,
that's about five posts per month for the past four months; it was higher
than this last year, a lot higher. In my previous post I offered a reason
for this decline.

I offer this data to as evidence that many who would otherwise contribute to
this forum might not be doing so because they fear that they will be
admonished by its moderator. Maybe if people lightened up a bit, didn't act
like stuffy old men, we'd have more fun and get more done at the same time?
