[AccessD] The list

Hi Kenneth and Jim

StackOverflow is exactly that - a mess. It's no fun browsing the questions. There are better things to do.

EE is not a mess but still a bit closed, and the race for "points" leads to many half-baked answers.

 FWIW, there have been 309 questions in the last 7 days on Experts-Exchange.

A quick look at StackOverflow shows about 125 questions submitted in the
last 7 days on all Access topics. In the same time, AccessD fielded 12
Access topics -- the generalist StackOverflow is running at roughly 10X our
rate. StackOverflow has at minimum 600 followers on Access topics. I hazard
thats WAY more than AccessD. The standard Access names like Toews, Fenton
and Kallal are well represented there. When have you heard from them here?

That's not counting the Microsoft-hosted forums, Google Groups, Expert
Sexchange ....
