I wonder how many of the 22,222,222 are posts on political threads.

Its too bad you treat the political threads like they are your errant stepchildren. I suspect they are what's attracting a lot of new members. What on earth would give you that suspicion on a site whose name is "Silicon Investor"? Here are the facts: 1. 99% of recurring subscribers post on Investment boards. 2. 96% of free members read ONLY Investment boards. 3. 0% of free members post on Political boards. As intended, the new members which this site needs for its survival are here to talk stocks; not politics. Granted, we programmatically prevent free members from posting to non-investment boards, but the fact that only 4% of new members even reads those boards is a pretty strong indicator that they're here because of an interest in the stock market.
