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 # People who have posted this many articles - *BSD newsgroups, 6/92 to now. 2495 1 750 2 364 3 235 4 152 5 93 6 79 7 82 8 62 9 31 10 36 11 31 12 33 13 33 14 25 15 20 16 17 17 11 18 12 19 11 20 10 21 10 22 9 23 12 24 4 25 7 26 7 27 4 28 6 29 3 30 5 31 2 32 4 33 2 34 3 35 3 36 5 37 3 39 2 40 3 41 3 42 3 43 2 44 3 45 2 46 1 47 1 48 3 49 2 50 1 51 2 52 1 53 1 54 1 55 1 58 2 59 4 60 2 61 2 62 2 63 1 64 3 65 2 66 1 68 1 70 1 73 1 75 1 77 1 78 2 81 2 83 1 84 1 85 1 86 1 88 1 90 1 91 1 92 1 100 1 101 1 104 1 109 1 113 1 122 1 125 1 126 1 128 1 138 1 140 1 144 1 151 1 156 1 174 1 181 1 242 1 244 1 284 1 298 1 300 1 315 1 361 1 364 1 392 1 668 1 838 -- `` ... nor do I regularly post multi-kilobyte screeds about driver software I can't release because aliens haven't used the radio receivers in my head to give me permission yet.'' -- John F.
