Absolutely.
For what it's worth, at ~740 messages this year, we're at about 3% of the traffic that we had in 2003. That was the year we had 31509 postings, or an average of 86+/day. To put that in perspective, we had close to 150 spam messages that were rejected and 8 that made it through the filters today.
There are close to 350,000 excellent messages in the archives since 1-May-1998, and it represents an amazing corpus of information. Please use it, reference it, laugh at it sometimes :-) and enjoy.
