Natter had about 500 less posts during the Experimental run. A correlation but not a proven causation.
Natter had significantly greater volume in 2006 than 2007.

We should also look at the same time period last year. This may be a summer slowdown as opposed to a multiple thread slow down. Also, we're talking about 300 posts in 44 days. That's 7-8 posts a day. Significant? I don't think so, especially since I would wager that there were more than 7-8 posts in the buckets (dear Liza, dear Liza . . .)

right, right. Perhaps if I actually looked at it instead of just seeing what I thought I saw.

Aha. So although the absolute number of posts was less this year, the summer drop was far smaller, despite the presence of those dastardly experimental threads.

Mea culpa.
Not maxima, though. Gotta draw the line somewhere.
