I'm not quite sure what the current point of the report is if no-one responds to even it breaking.
Knee? Shape? Curve? Are you reading the same CIDR report that I see here every Friday? The report that I see is basically a dump of raw data. Perhaps the author needs to remember the distinction between data and information and make the CIDR report into something that people *WANT* to read. This posting of yours contained far more information than any CIDR report.
The author is providing a service by giving us raw data. If that is all they want to do, we cannot (and should not) force them to do more. Besides, I like raw data. :-) Also, as for the "knee" Joe mentioned, I think he is talking about the fact the report went wonky. Look at the data presented in the last CIDR report - it is nonsense, obviously in error. This is not the "shape" of the "curve", it is the data itself. -- TTFN, patrick
