What would be your assessment for those FTers who mainly use the site as a resource and hardly, if ever, post?
You know there are quite a few FTers who regularly read FT but only manage to maintain post counts in either single- or two-digit numbers after all these years. Are they FTers?
Far different. I would expect that someone who is supposedly a thought-leader in the community would actually contribute. Gary made the decision to stop doing so. I don't see that helping anyone. And helping each other is one of the biggest factors in the value of this site.
Deciding to only take when in a position to do much more is, IMO, not in the spirit of this community.
