§History
DI History page, § HITTING OUR STRIDE, says
 * Now the DI number just over 70 active members and have settled into a pattern of continuous slow growth. Since their children now number over 50, it's a matter of survival. Dorsai Thing has continued through the whole time. In 2012, it will have been held in 37 consecutive years in more than ten cities.

"As of 2012"? DI Timeline says
 * 03 14 2014 Thing 39 - Ann Arbor, MI USA - "Thing Returns!"

So how many active members now?


 * 1) Open ROSTER of the DORSAI IRREGULARS (as of July, 2014).
 * 2) Get source
 * 3) Copy and paste to foo
 * 4) Get list of members. Exclude dead members (gray font).

But are those all active? How can I tell?

And the timeline shows 113 inductions... well, that would include the dead:

104 + 14 = 118

I don't need this level of detail, dammit.

How many cities?
Eighteen through 2014:
