Looks like my 2011 number was inaccurate.

Still…

I ask for two reasons. The only other forum I have ever been active on, Epicski, shut down last month.

Second, I lurked for years, I didn’t join until I became semi-retired. The board used to be active 24/7. Now posting slows very noticeably during US overnight hours.

Not complaints, just observations.
