The average in the six weeks following? It was 255! If there is causality at work (not just correlation), then we could say that my posting increased activity by 194 percent. Increased. As Jon Lovitz said in A League of Their Own, this would be more. During the weeks following my post, we had abnormally high activity -- more than two standard deviations from the mean. One of those weeks, we were at more than five standard deviations above the mean.

Anybody else think that explains six weeks of high posting activity followed by two weeks of normal activity, very little of which had anything to do with the post William would have us believe discouraged activity? William, you actually haven't documented a statistically significant decrease in postings (because there isn't one). Maybe it's time for a review of basic statistics? The reason that the last two weeks' posting level doesn't represent a significant drop is that 90 percent of values in a normal distribution fall within one standard deviation of the mean. The decline, in terms of statistical significance, is a pink unicorn. Shoo it away.
