It seems like half the posts I logged yesterday were by new names I hadn't seen before, and there were a few more today. I guess people are moving into their dorms and flexing their newfound bandwidth.
It'll be interesting to see what kind of trend xo's next graph shows for the August/September boundary.
Oh, and everyone remember that September is traditionally when Usenet gets its biggest shipment of new idiots. Everyone get your asbestos underwear out of storage. |

Oh yeah, that reminds me, I think I was supposed to do another graph for *this* month, but I had troubles dumping the data (I think the database is too big now) and I let it drop.
I'll look into it again.

Oh, I think AOL trumped any influx of college students back in the day. They don't call it "the September that never ended" for nothin'.
