I hate to spring this out of the blue, but why do you all think we've been on a downward trend the past long while?

I see it more as--we fell quickly and we're on a plain with a few hills. Usually, we get in only a couple pages a day, but sometimes, we get in many pages in a day. I think the speed reminds of our former days and gets us to try and bring that back, although we don't succeed for long enough to sustain it.
