The same thing is happening over in CROSS-STITCHING as well, Teresa!  One 
thing I had forgotten about since I am housebound for the most part is that 
this is the time the kids are getting out of school, weddings and graduations 
are going strong, and we just had a holiday weekend <  I think that has 
definitely taken a bite out of participation!
Things have started to pick up just a little bit in CROSS-STITCHING again, so 
I think things will rebound a little here as well.
Then of course, many folks have left FIDO (including many, many sysops) for 
the glitter and glitz of the internet.  Some have already come back to FIDO 
because of the more "personal" contact and friendships you can form here.
Take care!
