There were at times more than 20 people reading this thread.
One way to measure is by looking at "times read"--currently at 244.
Some of those 244 are of course repeaters, but it gives a general idea.
The thread is about two hours old, and it's the day time.
This is also the subject of a DUmmie ALERT! on P-J Comix's most-excellent DUmmie FUnnies, drawing an audience from freerepublic too.
Because conservativecave is small, and most members working for a living, the "peak" times here tend to be around suppertime into late night. As for non-members, the "peak" times are early in the morning, and this was posted too late for that.
I suggest one check back about coffee-break time tomorrow morning (Friday) to see the "times read."
