One reason there are not as many people that could be in the channel
is because others are telling them to steer clear due to the abrasive
behavior of some of those that are already in the channel trying to
'help'. A good example can already be found in this thread.
Well, yes, but (aside from the Orig poster) everyone else is basing
their information on things that happened many years ago. Thats not
excusing the issue that happened to the Orig poster, but I think that
is a much more isolated case than people think.
If we can put a stop to the abrasive, abusive, etc. behavior, we can
probably begin to gain trust from those with previously negative
experiences and the channel will start to gain more helpful folks
faster.
You might think so, but again, look at this thread... there are several
people who said they had bad problems 5+ years ago and never want to go
back. I did invite members of this list to join and see for themselves
how things are these days, but I don't know if anyone took me up on it.
