>My take on Steve’s data is that it takes into account what he wishes to present to obtain a smoothed yearly total. I do compare 1995 with 3000 attending the Advisor event with the numbers today at that show which is about one tenth the total.

FWIW, I've never believed that 3000 number for '95. I think that's very inflated, but I don't know a real number.
