Is this for real? Last time I looked there were over a hundred people registering here. Is this normal?

[Ed Shacklee]

I'm sorry I can't answer your question, Willie, though I'm sure multiple someones can. I'd like to cure another part of my ignorance, though: how could you tell?

A hundred would be, what, three college or graduate level classes, plus the weekly quota of odd strays from around the Net, seeking a place to stretch their wings, a cozy nook or flagellation?

Best,

Ed

A hundred people registering at the same time, if it were normal, would greatly enlarge the Forum Members number? Or would it? That's what I don't know. Are non-active users regularly pruned off of that number? I don't know, which is why I'm asking.

These are hacker-directed machine attempts to register.

Members are not pruned off.

Relax.

Ok, thanks Janice. I was relaxed already, just curious.
