what magic hat did you pull your 99% number from? There is no way the
number is that high. I would bet 50% is more like it and there is no
way it is any higher than 75%. The to main reasons there aren't more
people involved in GA are 1)Financial cost (both real and perceived) and
2)the cost in time. If the time cost could be reduced somewhat, and the
financial cost reduced significantly, you would see a lot more people
interested in GA. Another thing which I believe is a significant
contributing factor is the level of regulation by the government, how
significant I can't say. That is in as much as people don't like the
government telling them what and how to do things. Of course the
government regulation is one of the major contributors to reason number
1 too.
