I noticed at the bottom of the message board on the front page that the most members on line at one time was on July 17, 2005 in the early a.m. (around 6:45), and the total was 286.

286?

How is it then, that when I'm on the board I'm either the only one or I'm a registered member with an unnamed ponderer?

I'm just curious. Did something important or extrordinary happen to get everyone on this board at once, or is the number just an error in the board's program?

I'm usually on line in the late evening on a Friday or on a Saturday, either at night or during the afternoon, USA Eastern Time (if it matters).
