21000: Corbett: Arriving at another 1,000 posts

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

In my records of postings, from when I moved the list to Webster
University's server back in 1999 until three months ago, we never AVERAGED
20 posts a day until the Feb. attacks began in Haiti on Feb. 4th of this
years.

Since then we've averaged:

28
71

and now, this last 1,000 averaged 40 a day.

So, it peaked in the late Feb. and now is calmming down a bit.  This seems
mainly because not as many news stories are appearing in the world press.

This recently finished 20,000 to 21,000 began in March 7 and ended today
on April 1st, an average of 40 posts.
