<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 2916868, member: 112"]Kurt, I myself have commented more times than I can count that CT only represents a tiny percentage of the hobby. But I strongly disagree that it is an indicator of nothing worth counting. Ya see Kurt, CT may be a tiny piece, but it is a tiny piece of a huge whole. And that whole, it is extremely significant and indicative regarding the health of the health of the hobby. CT is just one website, but it is a part of thousands of websites and all of them combined far exceed everything that has gone before. Via the internet factors of a hundred, maybe even a thousand, times more people can experience and participate in the hobby than ever could before. And the fact they do participate - well, that just pretty much drowns out what you are claiming.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I'll not disagree.
