Just a thought....
Can you tell the ratio of male to female members you have? I didn't know if this is where I should post this, so feel free to move it where it should go.
Just a little piece of trivia for the forum!

I seriously doubt that he can tell that since a lot of members didn't designate their gender. You could go through the members list and count those that did, it shows in there.

I figured he could look it up in his database. I thought he was the creator of the site. I thought he might be able to pull this info rather easily. If not, it was just a thought!

Mark isn't really the creator of this board. It's Proboards created it and hosts it. Mark just has the power to change colors, delete or modify posts etc... kind of like when you open up a guest book for your own web site. Mark just opened up an account and fiddled with the settings, linked it to his web site, and here we all are

K - at a guess by scrolling through the members - I would say that around 35-40% of members have stated either M or F - leaving 60-65% unknown. From 3 random samples of those within the 35-40% group - I counted 34 M and 27 F So that gives an approximate indication of the ratios of M/F on the board. Beyond this - where the info isnt available only assumptions can be made regarding the main 60-65% unknown. Hope that helps Mark (oh I......... - interestingly - those who have logged in within the last 50 days have a higher tendancy to have stated whether they are M or F than those who have not logged in for more than 700 days - I would say that 65% in the former group state M or F - whilst around only 35% of the latter group stated M or F) (ps I recounted the members and found that it removes deleted accounts).

;D and Mark would be amongst the 60-65% unknown who haven't designated their gender (sorry, couldn't resist). Where the heck have you been hiding anyway Mark, it's been ages.

Cher ive been busy working so hard i havent had much spare time. It happens like that - sometimes I have loads of time - then I have to work 14 hour days - then it gets quiet again and round it goes. Moderate at the moment. Ive got 4 barrels going though 600 either today or tomorrow - they have done 10 days at 240 now so ready to be changed.

Glad to hear you're busy and still able to keep the barrel rolling. Mine are all waiting to be moved on, but it's so cold in the basement I don't even feel like going down there. One of these days, I've been so bad about it that tomorrow the stuff in polish is ready to come out and I've got nothing ready to go into it.

Well it should start warming up soon enough and you can get back to it The lake superior agates you sent me went into 240 today - spent about 2 hours changing barrels and grits - ended up with 6 going instead of 4!!!! Only small 1.5lb barrels - but a good selection of rocks tho.
