Re: RPGV?

Just responding to the last poster's number. I don't have any good numbers -
I doubt if anyone has.The only insight I have is working with the IT
departments at clients for which I've provided consulting or training
services. Certainly not a high level view of the industry.

I think 30% is an optimistic number. And even assume 30% use service

percentage for sure. One wonders how many though. 30% of 30%?

I'm curious if you have a basis for these numbers or if you pulled them out
of your hat? What percent of the RPG coding community would you say you
actually met and/or worked with? In fact, what percent would you say even
frequent lists and other "groups" like this? And is it fair to assume that
those from whom you have never heard are in the "tradition or die" group?

Sorry it sounds like an attack; it's not. I'm just curious about these
things and what insight you really have into this.
