I can't see the stats being a problem to anyone on the list.  It's only 
one or two posts a month so the people who don't like them can suffer 
them ;-)

If all regular posters only posted something potentially contensus once 
an month we'd have nothing to read ;-)

The people on the list can only ask the questions that they need 
answering.  It's the same with any population what some sections of the 
community will be unable to help with (and in many cases understand) the 
problem the poster is facing.  It's the same with 'easy' questions, they 
are only easy if you know the answer, if you don't know the answer they 
are the same kind of black magic than the first question would be.  All 
questions (related to the topic and clearly marked off-topic) are valid 
within the community around this list.  I don't remember anyone ever 
being told off for asking a question. 

The list isn't about 'brownie points' as you well know ;-) but I 
understand how you feel at the moment.  <hippie mode="loved up">Peter 
you're loved man!</hippie> ;-)
