      I doubt that. I'd say the number is closer to 5,800,000

            I'm hot for teacher. Is it just me, or is all of CP kind of slow nowadays ?

            It's become very dull and boring since the Soapbox debacle/split/dumbdown: Chris should put it back to how it was: it might not have been the caring, sharing, cuddly place he hoped for but it was fun.

                Funny how often he has, with the best motives in the world, done exactly what the people who oppose him wanted him to do. Both the Lounge and the ersatz Soapbox don't seem to have profited much by declaring a ghetto.

                  I think the quality of the membership continues to fall. All one has to do is look at the .NET forums to see one idiot after another urgently requesting that someone do their homework. It's not unique to CO, of course. Most of the other unmoderated message boards are even worse - and even the blog comments are being filled with stupidities.

                    Ah! Another object lesson in the futility of appeasement.

                      SB 2.0 just seems to be the occasional dumping ground for crappy jokes.
