And there ist Not Enough who analysed BiB’s monthly gains some time ago. Found the stuff somewhere on my HD. Hope you don’t mind, NotEnough, if I repost it here again:

Looks like you gained at an over all average rate of .252 inches per 30 day period BUT from 2/23/99 to 3/7/99 you were gaining at a .625 per month rate, you then gained nothing thru 3/30/99, from 3/30/99 to 4/16 you gained at a .662” per month rate, and so on. In other words at times you were gaining VERY quickly and other times virtually nothing. Very interesting. Thanks for the data.”
