Examining rmi's traffic via Google Groups, which only gives you a
thread-, not a post-, count, we see an overall downward trend between
last year and this:
2002
January 1700
February 1690
March 1950
April 1890
May 2200
June 1530
July 1200
August 1290
September 958
October 1370
November 1510
December 1090
2003
January 1100
February 823
March 865
April 615
May 603
June 695
July 621
August 479
September 329
Looks like a drop- off in thread count of from one- half to two-
thirds between last year and this, with the big drop occurring
sometime between November of last year and February of this-- in
particular between January and February.
What happened then? was there a flame- war or troll- infestation or
something?
Or is the problem one of industrial- electro- EBM- electronic (IEEE)
music itself? did Metropolis or Isotank go under? why? what? why?
(Maybe I shoulda done 2001, too.)
