>It seems to me that we have a few new faces, some faces we have not seen for a few years

Yes, that's kinda what I was trying to say.

, and in general, not too many faces. In fact the number of people on line seems to have been running around 70 rather than 100 to 120.

That I would have a different view on. The number of members logged in varies with time of day, peaking in the afternoon (IMHO). It also varies by time of year, and tends to be less busy in the summer and on major holiday weeks (again IMHO).

How about an analysis of the number of members that have made posts? I guess something like that is already available.....
