So it's merely a coincidence that both Usenet AACP and your FB Edition
of AAPC have seen their membership decline -- whereas the Official AAPC
FB Group has seen its membership steadily rise?

I don't think so.

Usenet AAPC and its FB Edition are both dominated by Will Donkey;
whereas the Official AACP FB Group has a "No Donkeys allowed policy."

IMHO, the presence/absence of Will Donkey is the determining factor.

You can look at the back cover of our AYoS 2023 ed., on Amazon, and/or
you can wait for the 2024 ed. to print, and view its back cover there as
well.
