This is a short followup to Harald Alvestrand's request for email to count
the number of *BSD users, for those interested in trivia. I've just gone
through the 24,700 news articles from comp.os.386bsd.* and comp.unix.bsd
which are archived on minnie, covering June '92 to today. The 24,700 articles
were posted by 4,770 individuals [not individual email accounts].

At the end of the article is a quick statistical look at the frequency of
people's postings. 2,495 people have posted only one article, and one person
has posted 838 articles :-)

Harald, if you want I'll send you the raw data (From: lines).

Cheers all,
	Warren	wkt@cserve.cs.adfa.oz.au
