this has been my own personal experience.  Most of the TSA
members I know (and they are from the 'at-large' category) are
very distrustful. A fuzzy guess would put the number at about
3 out of 4.....    but that is a guess.

I guess I did word that poorly.

you do not think they should be bothered....   (??)
(due to perceptions of theirs (yours?) regarding the
internet environment).

Maybe if you asked them,  they may agree to responding if the format
was to their liking??  The problem is that total silence from them
is very damaging (MHO) since it is so easily (mis)construed as
arrogance, inconsideration, or even worse -- concealment of
facts (just to name a few possible (mis)perceptions).

oh well...  i guess i must wait for some historian to
sift through archives and  write everyhing down in yet another
book about TS internals.

gee - maybe we could get them to do a "TS" Town-Hall meeting.  We could
get CNN to set one up!!    :-)

peace -
