2 arrivals, but 5 departures (as noted a week ago)
Summary: The public wants to receive information (e.g. facts about EPO corruption), not self-promotional marketing from law/litigation firms and overt censorship of comments critical of António Campinos; the people who are still in IP Kat -- and there aren't many of them still active -- occasionally try to squeeze some karma or life out of "Merpel" (even though the original authors who used this pseudonym are long gone after Benoît Battistelli sent his "Capones")
