Although, as someone active in 2000, I can tell you that traffic did
not grow 12.55 times per year (doubling every 100 days), or anything
even close to that.

Keeping it in the family a little, Mike was quoted as saying this - see p2:  
https://www.linx.net/files/hotlinx/hotlinx-3.pdf

Although there were two factors here as far as LINX itself was concerned - growth in members as well as growth in 
traffic from each individual member.

Even ignore the fact this is overestimating growth, it still is not 12.55 times in one year.  Or even double in 100 
days.
