My phone must have sent you a different email than what I typed on it, because I don't recall typing the word "only" anywhere on my previous reply. Maybe my memory's going, but I also vaguely recall typing something about them being criticised for not doing something AND being criticised for doing that very thing they were previously criticised for not doing, which is rather more specific than "the chapter getting criticised".
Regards,
KTC

Hi John,
I think you’re sending emails in HTML format, which come through to the list OK as an individual email, but HTML-formatted emails are removed from the digest ("An HTML attachment was scrubbed”). So there are two options: change to using plain text format for the emails you send to the list, or change to receive individual messages rather than the digest.
Thanks, Mike

As very often in recent years, I got a notification of my post sent an hour or so ago, with completely blank text. Yet Katie has clearly seen it, as she quotes me. Have others also got blanks? Can the rather cryptic instructions for replies be clarified, or is there some bug? I get the digest version. It doesn't exactly encourage people to contribute, and may be a factor in the much lower activity on this list in recent years. It never used to happen.
No Katie, I don't think this has much to do with it, though you are right to imply that the chapter is over-sensitive to criticism...

It appears that the jump in numbers was a one-off event, there has been no continued growth since whatever happened.
I don't know what happened. I did correspond with the office about a prompt to renew. One could simulate such a "one-off event" by simply asking people whose membership had lapsed to renew. I was doing this sort of thing for WMUK some seven years ago, so as an explanation it is not far-fetched.

Oh I don't know, maybe this "yawning gap" wouldn't be so wide if the chapter don't get criticised for both not increasing its membership numbers and having increased its membership numbers. Just a wide guess.... KTC
