The MASS exodus of Scuba-L regular posters from Scuba-L to Scuba-SE
took place on May 23, the day AFTER Nick's May 22 "Tuesday Massacre".

On May 26, I noticed some INTERESTING NUMBERS (afterall, that's my
profession!) and posted this in Scuba-L:

Nick snipped the numbers in his reply:

Yeah, I doubt it'll drop to ZERO too.  Nick's TWO periodic postings
a month would make that at least 2.  :-)


But it's GETTING THERE!

In Week 4 (June 22 - June 28), there was a TOTAL of 28 posts in
Scuba-L, 5 of which by Sherry, FOUR of the FIVE were identical
postings INITIATED by Sherry in BOTH Scuba-SE and Scuba-L.

ONE of Sherry's intiated post ("Serious Question") generated 5
follow-ups in Scuba-L.

Readers can judge for themselves the QUALITY and QUANTITY of
the posts in Scuba-L this lastest WEEK.


Now that Sherry has announced in Scuba-SE ("Posting on only one"):

> This is the list I will post to all my friends are here.

Scuba-L is well on its way to the days of FORMER Scuba-SE, as long
as Nick is there running Scuba-L:
