    Life as a skeptic, never trusting anyone... must be rough. -Just kidding. How is the Michigan Skeptics group doing? Have your numbers grown over the years since we first met? That's quite a lot of work to keep something like that going. My hats off to you.

Hey long time no chat. MISkeptics is going well. We're set to pass the 500 member mark in Meetup soon (currently 496) and we're starting to make the push to go non-profit. How are things in your universe going?

In no way is this question meant to disparage your achievement, because it's really a great accomplishment to have so many subscribed to your Meetup, but what percentage of that 500 actually come to meetings?

I only ask because I belong to several Meetup groups that I've not yet visited after a full year of weekly emails.

It's not disparaging at all. I completely understand where you are coming from. We get on average around 25 people every month. The numbers drop a bit during the summer.

But every month we always have new people so that is definitely a good thing.
