Thanks, Steve!

I don't read Forum, but do read feedback@, and the occasional praise 
there is surely the most fun about doing so.


Okay, I guess I'm going to increase the pats-on-the-back thang...!

So am including this more widely (and removed Dan's surname, because I 
haven't asked his consent).


The Forum post Steve forwarded says Dan's glad he never read the manual, 
but still, big kudos to the Audacity Manual creators/editors.


Our download counts, referrals, and online ratings show that Audacity is 
much appreciated, too.

I'm amazed at these download counts for 2.0.6, e.g., checking just now 
from their sites:

* SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity/): "191,581 
Downloads (This Week)"

* FossHub (http://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html): "2,837,812" total 
downloads in a couple months (including a bit of 2.0.5 downloads) -- so 
probably about the same number of downloads per week as SourceForge

* CNET (http://download.cnet.com/Audacity/3000-2170_4-10058117.html): 
"Downloads Last Week: 7,002"


So that's roughly 400k downloads per week, not counting other mirrors. 
So 1.6m downloads per month from just those 3, I reckon.

Ratings of Audacity are consistently 4-to-5 out of 5 stars.

ALL of us, not just devs, are making a major impact in the world by our 
work on Audacity.

Thanks to all of you!!!
