I realized that might be a difficult question to answer.
One more test I can think of: If, as expected, the recession is still bottoming at the Spring deadline then the numbers (gross or percent change) should be comparable if that craziness is driving folks, in swarms it seems, to the founder path. However, if it was "Startup Ideas...", then, as a singular event, the growth should be closer to a normal rate if not an overall decline in gross from the Winter.

Care to make a guess which way it will go?
