Would it be possible to quantify lurkers?

I'm not sure what you mean here.

OTOH, lurkers are there to glean information without contributing (my
personal perception!).

What's wrong with that?

There is a large difference between a newbie
(WAFU, for my 'blue sky ' mates *) and someone who is employed by a
company and now uses this forum to harness information that will assist
them in delivering what their CV stated they are capable of.

<blink> Huh? Where did that come from? I really think that if someone doesn't know how to program RPG, asking a few questions in RPG400-L isn't going to help much. People have tried ... and it just doesn't work.

I know that you cannot identify, by region, those who post via
HOTMAIL,etc. Apart from those, could you identify by region.

Not really ... it's not meaningful. If I really wanted to, I might be able to break it down by domain ... but that's it. I'm really curious as to your motivation behind this message ... could you elaborate a bit? Feel free to email me privately if you wish.
