Hi,

As I've heard it the one doing the SWAG thinks it is scientific where the others hearing it go from stupid to place we don't want to go here.

I guess I didn't put my guess in which will be 11/20/09 6:49 PM.

I will go with Thanksgiving, Nov. 26, 2009......Yep Yep I believe that is it....
I keep finding little windows on this forum, that I don't really know what they do. So sometimes I experiment. Probably shouldn't do that, I know in my shop it can get me into trouble.

[quote="a1gutterman"]Too bad more of "us" are knot more active!!! I think it will be a bit longer then mickyd]
2 days into it and my model is working as planned.....we're at 5069 members...54 to go to reach 5123 which is 2.7 newbies a day and we'll hit the mark as planned on 11-13-09. Gee maybe it will hit on JPG's b-day 11-15-09.

Oh shoot.....I just thought of something that screws up my model. I was assuming how long it would take to reach the number 5123 of the yahoo group BUT I didn't consider that fact that their membership is growing also.....:mad: :mad:. I'll get BACK to you on THAT model......gotta go crunch some numbers....

I just cannot pass up stating the most obvious ! The exact hour and date is that point where our membership exceeds theirs by one member. So there, I've put my vote in and I'm sticking to it.;)

Well to have the bragging rights to the largest group of shopsmith users.

The yahoo sight has been the largest and has been around for a lot of years but now things are getting close. The latest numbers as a just a short time ago was this forum 5065 members and the yahoo group 5123.

Any bets on when we over take them?

Ed
What specific yahoo group are you referencing?
