[hackerspaces] Do-ocracy at 140 members?

[Pete Prodoehl]

Do you find that there is a certain percentage who just don't care one 
way or the other? Like, there's 10% who just say "meh!" and never seem 
to feel positive or negative towards what others do and what happens 
around them?

My guess would be that even with smaller groups this is the case, but if 
so, I wonder if such a percentage can be calculated at all.

(Yeah, that doesn't help you at all now does it!?)
