"Party use is dropping?" I don't know how this was being measured. If it was by the size of the logs: some of the daytime party addicts have been hanging out in non-standard channels whose logs are not accumulated. (I asked some people if they wanted to change things so the logs were saved, and they said No.) ---------- (235) #4 Scott Helmke (scott) Mon, Feb 19, 2001 (19:03). 2 lines. I've noticed that that "lull" in Grex use is apparently over. Much more crowded in the mornings, more new people stumbling into Agora, etc. ---------- (235) #5 Megan Heberlein (eeyore) Tue, Feb 20, 2001 (01:05). 2 lines. Gack, if I'd realized that you were just going to transfer over what I mailed to you, I would have put it in a much nicer form!!!! ---------- (235) #6 E R Bassey (other) Tue, Feb 20, 2001 (12:09). 4 lines. I cleaned it up to the extent I felt was necessary to communicate the essentials. Don't worry about it. I just wanted to get something up, and I've been pressed for time lately.
