Slow down of SI? Here are the numbers:

Just to get some insight in one of the indicators
of our company, I listed the number of posts per quarter:

1997-I 497.000
1997-II 587.000
1997-III 634.000
1997-IV 748.000

1998-I 842.000
1998-II 1.156.000
1998-III 813.000
1998-IV 1.177.000

1999-I 1.585.000
1999-II 1.699.000
1999-III 1.075.000
1999-IV 1.250.000 (*)

1997 2.466.000
1998 3.988.000 + 62%
1999 5.609.000 + 41%

Conclusions:
- growth is still solid
- seasonal patterns apply
- third quarter is traditionally weak

(*) Estimation based on 12.670.000 messages per 31/12/1999

I counted by going through the posts on the Cisco thread.
Very interesting following a thread over a couple of years.

Kind regards
