    Re: Fed UP!!!!!!!! —Larry Pieniazek
   Just picking at a few numbers, don't disagree with the main thrust but accuracy matters. (...) That's a "Have been since it started" number. Not all members are current. Also, not all members are serious. Many have a single feedback or none. This (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jul-04, to lugnet.market.theory)
   
        Re: Fed UP!!!!!!!! —Mark Riley
     (...) Yeah, but the results are only as accurate as the guesstimates used as inputs - GIGO you know. This debate reminds me of the various number games used to justify (or not) the belief that extraterrestrial life exists. Since there are so many (...)

         Re: Fed UP!!!!!!!! —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) It would help if I realised Chris was talking about BrickShelf instead of BrickLink. I still think the point stands though... not all users are current users and not all users are serious AFOLs, it's (somewhat more?/about as/nearly as?) likely (...)

     (...) I don't think it does either. At least not completely, because the market isn't a shifting one (at least not at the like LEGO/don't like LEGO level) I'm just drawing the analogy to the very first people in that model that take something up (...)

        Re: Fed UP!!!!!!!! —Chris Phillips
   (...) I think we are in overall agreement. Just to clarify, I was talking about BrickSHELF not BrickLINK. I viewed a total of three folders on the "Recent" page there and found a BS member with an ID in the 24000+ range, which is how I estimated the (...)

        Re: Fed UP!!!!!!!! —J. Spencer Rezkalla
   (...) They've never said that. 5% is simply 5%. Each company decision has a business case behind it. Certain AFOL wants have favorable cases, others don't. You may believe their business analysis is inherently flawed in some way, but unless you can (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jul-04, to lugnet.market.theory)

   (...) When the AFOL community asks for something and the response is that we represent only 5% of their market so don't expect anything, that does send the message that we are not important to them.
