Hello Listers,
I was a few hours premature in publishing the List Activity Stats yesterday.
After I sent the notification to the List, more messages arrived, taking the
August total to a stratospheric EIGHTY-FIVE (instead of seventy-five).
This figure has only been exceeded once since May 2011 (there were 105
messages in April 2013).
However, we shouldn't be too complacent. Back in the year 2000, on four
occasions the monthly total exceeded ONE THOUSAND with an all-time Powys
List record of 1255 in August 2000! These were truly the glory days of
Rootsweb's Welsh mailing lists.
You can study these figures for yourself by searching RootsWeb's Powys List
Archives at:
http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/POWYS
These archives constitute a vast and underused searchable resource. Every
legitimate message sent to the Powys List since its inception is available
for you to peruse.
Kind regards,
John

Powys List Activity Stats - August 2015
Dear Listers,
Here are the Powys List Activity Stats for the past month.
In August 2015, seventy-five messages were distributed via the Powys List.
This is the highest amount of traffic since April 2013.
Currently there are 357 members subscribed to the Powys List, five more than
the previous month.
As my 10-year spell as List Admin now comes to an end, this is also my very
last Activity Stats notice. I'm glad to be going out on a high! :o)
Kind regards,
John
