I suppose there are quite a lot of people who read these groups but don't
post.  And AFAIK the newsserver access statistics also indicate this.  The
number of POV-Ray users not using these newsgroups at all is probably a
lot higher.

And without the intention to discourage anyone to post here i think this
also has its positive effects.  If every POV-Ray user would ask all the
questions occuring to him in these groups (like some do ;-)) it would
become extremely difficult to maintain an open eye to those questions
really requiring some discussion within the lot of things that simply
could be answered by reading the manual or the FAQ.
