Cowan expressed the opinion that in spite of the increased traffic, it was still approximately the same number of posters as ever. Since I am going through old mail, I did a quick check. The following compares July 1992 with July 1993. Note that activity wasn't all that low last year either, since it was in July that we started discussing the ckafybarja project and the rafsi retuning. The following data DOES NOT include my own postings, which are harder to identify in mail files since I don't get a copy in my mailbox. July 1992 ~70 subscribers 93 messages, 13 posters, 9 posting more than 1 message, 6 posting more than 5 messages: Iain Alexander(11), Mark S.(8), Nick(9), Colin(20), Ivan(12), Cowan(21) July 1-10(53): 10 posters/8 >1 message/6 >5 messages July 11-20(12): 4 posters/2 >1 message/1 >5 messages July 21-30(28): 9 posters/4 >1 message/2 >5 messages July 1992 ~65 subscribers 295 messages: 26 posters, 17 posting more than 1 message, 14 posting more than 5 messages: Mark S.(10), Nick(16), Colin(44), Cowan(36), Eric Rauch(9), And(39), Jorge(15), Chris H.(10), Frank Schulz(5), Iain Alexander(10), Marnen(11), Rob Brady(7), Veijo(13) (I believe 6 of these were not even subscribed last year at this time) July 1-10(93): 15 posters/8 >1 message/4 >5 messages July 11-20(63): 12 posters/10 >1 messgae/5 >5 messages July 21-30(139): 23 posters/13 >1 message/9 >5 messages I will let people reach their own conclusions. lojbab
