I've got no idea why, but just about everything has slowed down over the
last 24 hours. I believe that there's a public holiday in the US and UK
today/yesterday which if correct would account for the drop in traffic in
.general and .market.

As to why .au is quiet...I don't know.

[Thought...If we really want to boost trafic, we could always cross post eg.
when posting about LegOz 2000.3 we could always post in .nsw.xxx as well as
.au :)  Of course, that could be construed as cheating, but there's always
the chance that there's more people out there who don't have read .au [after
all, how many people have recently de-lurked?], but wait patiently for
postings in their state area...If we use this approach, we could easily
catch the Italians, especially with mure LegOz 2000 get-togethers.]

By the way, thanks very much for the detailed shop • summaries, it's always
interesting to see what happens in other states.

Well, if nothing else it helped a little in keeping the loc.au traffic
boosted!  Hey guys, we're slowing down, what's wrong out there?!
