Archie -- did your survey include many inactive accounts?

While that might explain part of the difference, there must be more.
Could there be a systematic difference in the types of accounts or
usage patterns in the two communities?  (I believe Daniel based his
estimates on traffic generated by "typical" users).

For example, browsing at a tourismm www server would generate a lot of
traffic, while email between two researhers would not.

Has there been talk of this?
