Democratic Underground, if my math is correct....

Depending on my late-night, slightly-drunken math, and on how many international members we have, DU has as a member for about every 10,000 US citizens! Is that good? :)

1. if thats so wow

[Syrinx]

4. doesn't 30,000 times 10,000 equal

300,000,000?

I can't find a pen or calculator and my brain hurts.

7. Good old Windows Calculator...

... just confirmed it.

Discounting the fact that we have some users from outside the US, 1/10,000 Americans is an Evil DUer :)

2. Don't know

3. It sure isn't bad, but that doesn't make us huge either.

I wanna see ten times that many. Then, in almost every town in America that's not just a wide spot in the road, you're very likely to find at least one member of the site.

I figure it will only be another two years or so before we get there. Plenty of time for the admins to prepare or drink themselves blind. :evilgrin:

5. But how many are real?

[Systematic Chaos]

6. Good point

There should be a rule here that ID's that go unused for say, 3 months, are deleted from the roster. Just a thought.

9. I guess

I'm an idiot but I finally linked your name to the classic 2112. Cool.

10. Yeah I love *that* Rush

Especially since Neil got over his Ayn Rand period... decades ago.

11. Vapor Trails

brought me out of decades long funk. Cheers.

[Syrinx]

12. vapor trails was good

I wish they'd do another true "concept album" for old-time's sake. And if they took some "symbolic" shots at the "president" that would be all the better.

You know Neil has had some traumatic times. His wife died of cancer, and his daughter was killed in a auto accident. I feel so sorry for him. Still, selfishly, I wish they would put out more albums than one ever four or five years.

I can't help to be selfish, I'm an American. :(

13. Yes

I know the tragic story. But these fellows are cool, smart as hell, and gonna play their hearts out. Cheers and goodnight.
