A lot of the discussions that used to take place in discussion lists like this one now take place in the social media, especially FB.

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.
