On that note: Another interesting stat: A record low for messages posted to both
the wireshark-users and wireshark-dev mailing lists.  I'm not sure what to make
of that, but I'm guessing that the drop is at least somewhat due to users and
developers asking questions on ask.wireshark.org instead of through the mailing
lists.  Hopefully it's not indicative of something else, such as a declining
interest in Wireshark.
