what's the prob with that? Mods get a break from moderating and it gathers suspense for the next race.

Edit: After i read it through, my last remark with the suspense is complete bs

Today will be quiet due to national holidays in the UK and the US.

People tend to go out and sit in the sun opposed to an internet forum..

Reasons for slight decrease in posting (which I have also noticed, but find natural):
1 - some have exams (yes, someone already said this...just listing reasons and/or agreeing)
2 - weather, at least in Europe (where most managers are situated) is getting a lot better leading to more time spent outside.
3 - holidays -> going on mini-vacations, visiting friends or family, etc.

You hardly need a poll, the graph you cite shows the answer to be a clear no; apart from a slight uplift in April, the general trend is pretty well flat at around 1300/day.

Summer is coming...

Don't be surprised if the forum becomes less and less active during the next few months.

When it starts to cool down again towards fall and winter it picks up again...

Exactly!!!
For example, I dont have any exams as Im done, but its summer in Florida, so that means only one thing! BEACH TIME! :D
But these 3 reasons are the most common.

I think majority of times more experienced managers, put down beginers with their smart comments, rather than being more helpful to them FYO!

Tip for the future, dont stand up for yourself in the forums, it isnt worth it.

If there is something you dont like, and take as a personal insult, then report it to the mods/admins.

'Going off on one' at the personal responsible will only lead to more trouble. Let the crew do their jobs and you will find them much more reasonable :)

Gordon, I have followed most of your and stefan's postings and I like your mature attitude and way of reasoning, unfortunatelly not all crew are the same as you two. Many thanks
