While it might have occurred before I joined the forum in 2011/12, I certainly do not remember "most" of the attendees posting notes at any tasting back then or since. AHB is of course prolific, and some of the rest of us have posted from time to time (JDAW and winesecretary in particular recently). Indeed I would be surprised if the average number of attendees posting notes per tasting exceeded 2 in any year since 2012. Happy to be proven wrong both now (about this) and in the future (due to more people posting following encouragement).
