100 to go

At this moment there are exactly 4,900 members of IIS.
I wonder how long it will take to reach 5,000?

It is amazing how quickly 900 members have joined IIS. Only 6 months!

I'm with Ric, IIS will have 5,000 members before the end of the year.

Can you imagine how many threads you'd have to sift through if everyone posted?

I thought you might have had something planned for the Astro Camp Mike.

There's always a chance of Eta Carinae going SN, but that would wreck the dark skies.
