What we colloquially call a "cohort" resembles, to some degree, the notion of subscription rate, which ultimately speaks to the idea of Nettime's "newcomers". Though rather than consisting of the sheer amount of subscriptions over time (data which is not available from the archive), we consider when a message first appeared on the list given an email address provenance. The graph of _figure 0_ displays the sum of these "first message" instances per month (50 months quintiles). A spike in the graph could be read as the formation of a new cohort, that is, an increase in the activity of newcomers, which may signify, albeit hypothetically, that an aggregate of common interest is broth forth on the list. Nettime's Nettimes so to speak. What we colloquially call a "cohort" resembles, to some degree, the notion of subscription rate, which ultimately speaks to the idea of Nettime's "newcomers".

Theres are observable spikes that appear here and there through out the months and years in _figure 0_, however, these are short lived (max 6 months). What is more striking is the sustained activity that occurred in first two quintiles of the graph (1996-2004). This activity can be correlated with the high subscription rate described earlier. Though, unlike subscriptions, the amount of "first messages" peaked around the year 2000, rather than between 2001-2002 (66 subscriptions/month). Let us call this peak the 2000 cohort.
