Yeah, number-of-messages seemed like the easiest to graph. I'm also getting
data on number of messages containing "auction|sale", "mindstorms", or "star

Can you do any analysis in terms of messages-per-thread?  That might
indicate content-depth, and the level of community.

Hmmm, interesting. I'll see what I can do.
