Not to suggest anything bad about RTLers specifically, but it has been
my experience that when you're talking about getting a large group of
people to do something that they don't *have* to do, even if it would
be to their benefit, chances are most of them will not do it.
Right now we're phasing out our old modem pool. We've had the new one
up for 2 months with notices going out via e-mail every couple of
weeks that Jan 4th was the cutoff date (we're actually just gradually
limiting the number of B channels it can use till we cut it off
entirely in a week or two). That modem pool is still getting over
half of the calls.
Same thing will happen with this registration thing. Joe RTLer
doesn't have to register here to post to RTL, so chances are he won't.
Some will, especially those interested in maintaining an unfragmented
discussion. Most, for whatever reason (laziness, lack of experience,
forgetfulness, outright refusal, etc) won't do it.
