No insinuations need to be made, I can merely ask for quantitative
proof by asking people to answer the following questions:

a) how many patents have list members applied for and/or received in
the last decade?
b) how many published papers/books?
b1) nobel or other academic prizes?
c) how many members have grown their personal net worth from their own
entrepreneurship by more than a million dollars?
d) how many political offices have they run or campaigned for, or
managed campaigns for?
e) how many non-profits started by list members have raised over
$100,000 in one year?
f) how many bills have been passed or prevented by the actions of list
members?
g) how many demonstrations have list members conceived, organized, and
brought to fruition?

I will wager that of list members that post to this list, less than
fifteen have done one of the above, less than seven have done more than
one, in the last ten years, not including myself (count me for six at a
minimum).

If a list member has not done at least one of the above in the last
decade, they can draw their own conclusions about whether they are
'doing anything'.
