Dear All,

For the year 2009 the membership increased from 44 to 51 with the addition
of 7 new members and none leaving the group. The total number of messages
posted for the year increased from 205 in 2008 to 242. As in previous years,
I have collected all the messages together into one zipped (utf-8) text file
(83kb). You can download this file by clicking on the following link:

http://pali.sirimangalo.org/palistudy/psgy09.zip

I have trimmed most of the top-posted messages and made the file half the
size of what it would otherwise have been. The file is like a tidied up
yearly digest. It would be helpful if members could trim off or reduce the
extraneous matter that comes after their sign-off. Many thanks to those
who do take the extra time and care to clean up their messages before
posting. I have added a chronological index of the subject-lines for 2009
and 2 lists of contributing members, one for the number of subject-lines
initiated per member and the other for the number of posts per member during
the year. All this is reproduced right below:
