[lbo-talk] Happy New Year!

[Jordan Hayes]

Last year was lbo-talk's quietest year ever: only 1360 postings, down 
from 3583 in 2013.  1998, the first year of the list and only 8 months 
long (the list started 1-May-98) had 10x that number.  lbo-talk jumped 
the shark in 2003 with 31,509 postings, an astonishing 86 per day.

On 26-Mar-2003, 217 messages were posted: 33 by Doug, 17 each by Yoshie 
and Steven Hertzberg; 12 by Carrol; 10 by Michael Pollak.  56 unique 
posters on that day.

On 9-Apr-2003, 27 messages were posted in the hour begining at 3pm; 15 
separate posters, led by Doug and Brad DeLong with 4 postings each.

On 10-Apr-2003, 5 messages were posted in the minute starting at 20:48, 
all of which were posted by Charles Brown.

And of course happy (9th!?) birthday to Ivan.
