Lol, I did not get the OP ...<br>
<br>
The list activity has been dropping over the years, there were a few "retirements" announced and if three companies sold/closed (or no longer using fp), that could very well be 3x factor in turns of number of participants.<br>
<br>
Let us be honest, if you go back 10 years, you still won't see a vast volume of postings from a spread-out user base, it is always the same 4 to 5 posters.<br>
<br>
From memory, most frequent posters were:<br>
<br>
  *<br>
John Essak<br>
  *<br>
Larry White and a 2nd White I cannot recall his first name - 'from Aljex?' ( both of them, mostly responding)<br>
  *<br>
Team from Anzio "Tom?" (mostly responding)<br>
  *<br>
Mark (mostly responding or letting you know where and how you were clueless and why your question deserved no mind nor an answer ... hahaha )<br>
  *<br>
Joel Chasan (spelling) from NY<br>
  *<br>
From Texas I forget his name but I think he retired last year ...<br>
  *<br>
Myself but I have not regularly posted questions in years, I have a couple of fp customers but it is mostly maintenance; the bulk of my work is PHP, .NET MAUI, DART/Flutter, Azure, AWS, PowerApps and now Python/Gen-AI as an effort to keep up with the times.<br>
<br>
I am sure I am leaving two or three names out, but an entire list will not reach a dozen, not that I can think of.<br>
<br>
I have not even seen the fpTech newsletter or any info coming via the list from fpTech.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
Anything going on with the filePro list.<br>
<br>
The last time I remember there being activity was 2023. Is it still working?<br>
