Sure, I'll comment.  I hadn't thought about the # of postings, but this type
of indicator is pretty good in my experience.  I especially like your empty
shelves indicator.  Years ago, while in school, I was a broker at a local OTC
house.  The best indicator I ever found was probably best recognized at the
barbershop in the "financial" district here.  Simply calculate a ratio of
"market talk" to "all talk"  and you had something to consider for a move.
