Ok, this is really rough because my comprehension of gnuplot is fairly low, but I thought y'all might be interested in looking anyway. <URL:http://www.mattdm.org/mindstorms/rtlbyweek.gif> is a graph of number of posts per week to rec.toys.lego for as long back as Deja News can remember. (Minus some mysteriously missing data early in 1996.) For the graphics-impaired, that's: 2000 ++++-++-------++++-++-------++++-++-------+++++++-------++++-++------++ + + + RTL posts by week + | | | | | * | 1800 ++ * ++ | * | | * | | * | 1600 ++ * ++ | * | | * | | ** | | *** * | 1400 ++ **** * ++ | ****** ** | | ******* ** | | *** *** ** | 1200 ++ * * *** ****** ++ | ** * * ****** | | ** * * * ***** | | ** * * * ***** | | ** * * * ***** | 1000 ++ ** * ** * ****** * ++ | ** * **** ** ****** | | ** ******** * * **** | | ** **** *** **** | 800 ++ ** * ** ** ***** ++ | ** * * * ** ****** | | * ** * * * * ** ****** | | ** ** * * * * * **** | | * ** ** * * ** * *** | 600 ++ ** *** *** *** ** * *** ++ | ** *** *** *** ** * ** | | *** *** * * *** ****** ** * * | | ****** *** * * *** *** *** ** | 400 ++ ******* *** * *** * * ***** *** ** ++ | * **** *** ** * * * **** * ** | | * ******* *** ** * * * * ** | | * **** ** **** | | * * ** * | 200 ++ * ++ | | | | + + + + + + 0 ++++-++-------++++-++-------++++-++-------+++++++-------++++-++------++ 01/01/1995 01/01/1996 01/01/1997 01/01/1998 01/01/1999 01/01/2000 Once I figure out what I'm doing, expect some slightly prettier graphs, and, if Todd doesn't mind, some graphs from his LUGnet stats, if he doesn't have them already. -- Matthew Miller ---> mattdm@mattdm.org Quotes 'R' Us ---> http://quotes-r-us.org/
