If this group is at all like mailing lists (hard to judge;
mailing lists have a pin-downable readership so numbers are
easier to come by), nine out of ten people here *are*
gamemasters.  (At least, the people who aren't asking what the
answer to YA MEPBM riddle is.)

Mention something on roleplaying-L, and the answers you'll get
tend to be prefaced with "In my game...."  I don't know if it's
cause or effect, but the people interested enough to run a game
seem the only ones interested enough to talk about a game outside
the game.

Mileage may vary in non-roleplaying games, though.
