The number now stands at 44,665.

I couldn't get on on Friday afternoon but after 9 weekdays of predictable decline, about 200 per day, the figure from Thursday lunchtime to Friday lunchtime rose by 486. All bets are now off, as we seem to have tapped a new population.

I think it ought to reach 50,000 now but I'll be able to assess the situation a bit better at 2:00 gmt when I'll get a new week-on-week figure.
