Where do you see a downward trend? Excepting September 1999, when I
compare the traffic for a given month in 1999 with the traffic for the
same month in 2000, I consistently see the 2000 traffic as higher. In
fact, in general, I see the same pattern of ebb and flow for about half
the months (we can't see January 1999, May of 1999 is a local peak where
May of 2000 isn't. March of 2000 is a local peak when March 1999 wasn't.
Without the 6000 message archive influx in September 1999, it would be a
an up month compared to September 2000's being a slightly down month.
What I do see is that the fluctuation in 2000 is less, this suggests a
more stable membership, which is to be expected, 1999 was Lugnet's real
jumpstart year.
