I saw your message, and thought "That can't be true, can it?"  So I went 
and looked up the number of posts.  I only looked up 2008 from January 
to October, and this is what I found:

	Midrange-L	Web400
        ----------      ------
January       1937         116
February      1631          44
March         1869         128
April         1837         191
May           1315         381
June          1222         320
July          1617         366
August        1525         520
September     1368         387
October       1561         251
-------------------------------
Total        15882        2704


So, for 2008 (until October) there were nearly 6 times more posts on 
Midrange-L vs Web400.  Not even close.

Also, the average amount of posts per member on Midrange-L
15882/1321 = 12.02

The average amount of posts per member on Web400
2704/488 = 5.54

So not only are there far more posts on Midrange-L, far more members on 
Midrange-L, there are more postings per person as well.  It's very hard 
to see where you're coming from!
