Statistics
Paul Sherman happily ran off a load of useless (and misleading) statistics for us...http://www.ecademy.com/node.php?id=50388
Useless and meaningless? Try "there are over 1,600 clubs in which collectively over 50,000 members".
Almost 300 of those clubs have never had a single message posted in them.
Over 500 of those clubs have 5 members or less.
Over 700 of those clubs haven't had a message posted this calendar year.
Perhaps the most meaningful statistic, though, is the one that Paul Sherman refuses to quote, despite people asking on that blog.
How many members have signed up to become paying members of marketplace?
I had the following brief email exchange with the Shermanator this evening. Obviously the communications breakdown which means that Ecademy Offers is dismissed as "not part of The Ecademy service offering and has no approved partnership directly with Ecademy" means that Paul Sherman hasn't been told to ignore my emails.

Okay... certainly no more than 25.
But will you answer Brian's question? It has been there all day, and
people seem to be interested. Why quote a lot of pointless statistics
and
leave out the most pertinent one?

That was not the point of the blog, go away.

But it will be the point of my blog.
Consider me gone away.
