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 . . .)

I did have a wrong date in there at first. I apologize for that.

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.

How long is this poll going to be up? Not that my input would be useful, but I'm going to be offline for the next three days.
