Almost as fast as people are joining. I'd imagine that this net turnover, if it indeed exists, is caused more by unrelated circumstances involving the individual users. Many people get their net access through means which they don't have control over - student accounts, work machines, etc. I've noticed quite a few such people eventually turn up again on public sites, but I'd imagine that the majority are forced off the net for good. -- Robert Sweeney {sun!hoptoad,cmcl2!phri}!dasys1!rsweeney Big Electric Cat Public Access Unix (212) 879-9031 - System Operator Fight Uni.
