Well these are the figures for 'November' for the last few years:-

            1997     435
            1998     169
            1999     647
            2000    1116
            2001    780

so, not as much as last year, but not 'way down' as a whole.

Another possible strategy is to set yourself to 'digest' mode -
you'll only get one post a day (but it will be a big'un).
