Thank's for trying Paul, but your on the wrong page.  If you think of
Slashdot as a model then you are thinking on the wrong order of magnitude.
As in Slashdot has only a small fraction of the traffic I'm talking about.

It's web based.

Slashdot is the wrong model to use for comparison in this case.  They are an
order or two of magnitude less trafficed than the site I'm working with.
And the audience (read potential community here), is vastly larger, broader
and harder to define.

Thanks though,
