One less member Jeff moved to Hawaii, See ya Jeff, have fun in the sun! :-) Keven submitted the membership graph which was filled with lots of nice info. The bottom line is that for the last year and a half we have been growing at about a half member every month. We do have a steady attrition rate of about one a month.
It would also be very helpful to understand why members leave.
