Knee? Shape? Curve? Are you reading the same CIDR report
that I see here every Friday? The report that I see is
basically a dump of raw data. Perhaps the author needs
to remember the distinction between data and information
and make the CIDR report into something that people
*WANT* to read. This posting of yours contained far more
information than any CIDR report.
The author is providing a service by giving us raw data. If that is all they want to do, we cannot (and should not) force them to do more. Besides, I like raw data. :-)

Also, as for the "knee" Joe mentioned, I think he is talking about the fact the report went wonky. Look at the data presented in the last CIDR report - it is nonsense, obviously in error. This is not the "shape" of the "curve", it is the data itself.
