Please explain how, or why, the group should 'capitalise' on membership churn ? Churn, what the English once called 'turnover', means people departing. How could departees be 'capitalised on' ? Given a free 'I Love Centos' sticker as a memento ?
ok, to me Churn implies people joining and leaving, turnover is high. We do have lots of people joining, but we have a lot of people leaving due to the various reasons, its that we should address. We have the benefit of lots of people coming in, lets capitalise on that to expand the user base, the knowledge base and the general community at large. Rather than fail in the way we do by driving away large numbers.
Well I've been on *many* mailing lists, and there's no way I could keep on them all at the same time :(
Apache, MySQL, SQLite, PHP install, Alpine, plus others. So my reasons to unsub from the list, would be to reduce the number of mails coming to my inbox each day. A classic example would be if I was moving house - get off as many lists as possible to reduce the backlog of emails for me to wade through after the move.
