All you say makes sense, and you will note that I am not asking for a change of scale, just more organic growth. So far, we have grown fairly regularly, and get new active members now and then.

We might be noticed even if small, if we continue to provide quality content - and have the manpower to get the media to notice us (by writing smart letters and papers on topics in the news, on the basis of our debates here). That's why I say we must grow some more.

Not a hundred fold, but having a few more people able to write letters or policy papers, run the wiki or create the thinktank website, etc would be good.

If what you expect is some more organic growth, then what I said or say is not relevant nor interesting.
In this case, what I feel you may feel (like disappointed or happy or whatever) is not relevant.

Each person has its own aspirations, expectations, wishes...and I hate to get in the middle of any of them.. so please do not consider that I apply any of my previous comments about you in this case.

I just wanted to be open in the case you expected or wanted a dramatic growth (I got that impression wrongly). And even in that case I was very reluctant to say it.

Keep the good work...

A pleasure

I think this
I agree that the main problem (I ahve no doubt) for ET growth is language. Noone of my friends would like ever to contribute here...it is just not catalan or not spanish. I think I could find  three or four friends interested if it would be in spanish or catalan..but the truth is that on content probably I could convince for sure only one person if it were in spanish.
is both relevant and interesting. I have not been able to get any of my friends to contribute, though one of them did register an account.

Yeah.. if you take this out of the place it was written and give it a general meaning, yes..it may count as I personal experience that may be interesting...

Thanks for pointing it out. And even more glad to know that I am not alone :)

I'd love to see dramatic growth, but I want it for the right reasons, not thanks to a lowering of standards or by becoming something too different from what we have now.
