Stats: March submission count

In March, we received 510 valid submissions, an average of a little over 16 submissions a day.
That's remarkably close to the 507 submissions we received in March 2009. As happened last month, I was expecting volume to go up by the usual 10% to 20% over a year ago, but instead it stayed constant.
Which means that over the past two months, volume has (a) stayed at a pretty consistent average of a bit over 16 subs a day (about 115 a week, about 500 in an average month), and (b) stayed at the same level as last year. I wonder if we've finally reached the top of the growth curve.
The week starting 7 March was in our top 20 highest-volume weeks ever, at 129 subs (which isn't all that much higher than the average noted above), but no other weeks or days had especially high volume.
Btw, sometime soon I hope to post some entries here about something other than submission volume.
(PS: Despite the date on this entry, it has nothing to do with April Fool's Day. I briefly considered posting a ridiculously fake submission-stats report, but it didn't seem worth the effort.)
