Todd,

Does the server count cross-posted messages as a single message, or does it
count one for each newsgroup?

Yes.

(What does the last sentence of the first paragraph on the report say?  :)

I don't know.  That would require me to actually read messages thouroughly,
instead of shooting off stupid questions.

Seems like the message-counts are way up this week.  Double-whammy from the SW
2000 set leaks, and MindFest. :)

Yeah, a lot of crossposting this week.  Maybe the report should be
dual-column like the news-by-mail subscriptions -- one showing counts
including crossposts and the other showing counts minus crossposts.

Nah, just do it one way or the other.

To be really wicked, you could spread the credit over all the involved
newsgroups.  The count for each cross-posted message would be

   1 / (number of cross-posted ng's)
