I really do not believe "the recent flame throwing" is responsible for a very measurable drop. I would expect a significant drop as a result of the recent re-subscription cycle run by the List Server...but the numbers are a bit surprising. Perhaps there is some relationship with Aaron's message about Web E-Mail problems. I doubt a hacker would be interested in mucking about with our subscriptions...it's a relatively small group in terms of the Werb. I, for one, constantly "tout" this List. As I have said previously, I highly recomend it to anyone interested in Honey Bees. The wealth of information provided by the members is, in my opinion, better than taking a Graduate Course in Beekeeping.
