: I would say that for about the last three to four months the number of posts has gone down dramatically - I'm sure Matt could produce statistics to prove me wrong though :-)

: Recently there's been times when I check the board last thing at night and then again in the morning and there's been only one post or sometimes even less. In the winter there were times when you would get a whole screenful of posts in as little as an hour!

: I like to think that because it's relatively warm, dry and sunny, users are actually outside driving/fixing their cars rather than just talking about it. We also get a lot of people from colleges who lose their net access over the holidays.

: There's also the disturbing thought that maybe we've done to death most of the maxima related posts so when new users come along (and old ones go in natural wastage) the people asking the same old questions tend to get shouted down or told to use the archives. Could it really be that we've said everything there is to say? I would like to think not.

: Anyway - let's see what happens later in the year. People often call me strange, but I really truly despise the summer. Give me dark, dank, rainy, cold, miserable, wonderful, wonderful winter anyday!
