Isn't Delaware an odd inclusion? I always though it was very populous like the rest of the east coast. I guess I am wrong.

You might want to keep this to yourselfs you may end up with about a million Californians fleeing the Grey Davis reign of terror.

New Hampshire was chosen.

About 1,000 people opted out of N.H. but in half a month we've gained back over half those losses and are back up to ~5K members already.

I did some regression analysis on membership growth and it appears to be approximately 8.4%/mo.

At this rate we should hit 20K in around 17 months (March 2005, though the official estimates are late 2005/early 2006).
