Understanding of the Spoonplugger.net Community

[phillip szafranski]

Recently some members thought it would be nice to know a little more of those responding on this site. I would like to take this opportunity to ask a few simple questions to obtain an understanding of where we are as a Spoonplugging Community. As most know, I write for the National Spoonplugger and I am simply trying to get a grasp of who we are and what can be done to offer greater satisfaction to those involved.

I am not looking for great detail involving your response. Here are the questions and my answers to the questions involved. Another reason for asking these questions is for me not to make assumptions about those that follow Mr. Perry’s work.

1 Have you read the Green Book completely?
2 Have you reviewed the Green Book or Home Study Course in the past 6 months?
3 How many years have you been Spoonplugging?
4 Approximately how many days have you been on the water in the last 2 years?
5 On average, how many times do you visit this site on a monthly basis?

MY ANSWERS
1- yes
2- yes
3- nearly 33 years
4- 100 days
5- likely 25

Thank you in advance for your response and cooperation!!!!!
