Is this geometric?

Hi Dave,

from the 6th June to 1st Nov, there were 1000 posts = 46 ish per week
from the 1st Nov to 27th Nov, there were 400 posts = 100 ish per week
from the 27th Nov to 8th Dec, there have been 270 posts = 170 ish per week

How many per week in Jan 2007?

        I'm rubbish at maths so can't say.
        But geometry I do like - especially in an Escher kind of waysmile
        • ianek70 It's not geometric, it's called 08.12.05, 19:31
          something else.

      Between 300 and 400, if this continues.

      It may not continue for the following reasons:

      1. Larger volumes may make the group less attractive to some participants who
      prefer lower volume groups

      2. We may be reaching the end of the interested population gradually

      3. Some people have new years resolutions to post less

      4. some people have habit changes after any break, and the christmas period is
      the longest break for some people in the year.

      However, I hope that those reasons will not actually crystallise, and that we
      will continue to be a growing group in the New Year, without any deterioration
      in the quality of posting, which I think is very high in this group.
