We also get more sleep now (there were two of us up at 3am every morning trying to beat the other's posts). arcadata does a good job on the daily deals, so I ceded that task here (it isn't a completely trivial task, as you know, as you post quite a few books, almost daily, and does take time).
OTOH, I suspect more deals were posted then (I know I don't post all the freebies I see, not even on my own site, since Amazon started punishing affiliates that refer too many free book sales).
I actually used a specific tag for posts here, for those concerned we were cleaning up. The earnings were in the pennies a month (most only grabbed freebies, just as I suspect has been happening for most on the Baen threads, which will most likely be much shorter in the future).
