Subject: numbers & technical difficulties
Well now we know that the network is a most efficient way of distributing
rumors.  I was rather amused to read the message saying that Socgrad has
hundreds of subscribers.  I only just had the chance to count up the
numbers yesterday -- as of about 9 days ago there were 133 subscribers
which isn't bad considering Socgrad only got started the last week of
January.  By now, that figure is undoubtedly somewhat higher.  If
people are interested, I'll give an updated count periodically.

I'm also somewhat concerned by the messages complaining about technical
difficulties.  If you're having problems, can you message me with
specifics, and I'll look into it.

Finally, I think this discussion over ratings is worthwhile.  It makes
us think about what we as grad students find important in a sociology
program as opposed to what U.S. News & World Report (and even the
academics they interviewed) value.
