To which Commodore Clifford replies...

Might be helpful to have any stats that show message activity on the site
just as a recruiting tool to convince people that the net is an active
one and encourge them to take the plunge.

I know I personally looked at the activity level of othernets before
deciding to bother with the registration and system setup.
