Only six US OLC flight claims?

Six is about the same number as this time last year and suggests that
we've lost a lot of the folks who joined this summer because of the
latest software mess.

The OLC guys seem to have the website working much better, but now they
have eliminated all flight information from the pages that list all
flights of an individual pilot, and the pages that list the flights of a
club. You get information about the type of glider and even the
N-number, but nothing about the flight itself (other than the date).
Makes it impossible to review a pilot's flights, and you also can't find
detailed information about a specific flight unless you know the exact
date of the flight.

On posting my short cross-country flight to the OLC yesterday, I noted
only six claimed for the whole of North America. I find this a bit on
the low side (the whole population of the USA can't have been full of
turkey and out shopping). Did no-one fly yesterday, or are the OLC
posting problems deterring claims?

For late November, it wasn't too bad in Arizona - it's unusual to see
dust devils this close to year's end, though.

.... or it implies that many of the gliders belonging to pilots that were
active this summer have gone into hibernation and will reappear in the
spring.
