Thanks! One other almost-coincidence BTW, if you like numbers: earlier this week, the 2,000,000th logged email went out. Since 22 Feb 1999, when I started logging the outgoing mail, there have been 163,590 digest messages plus 1,868,934 regular individual news-by-mail messages sent. I'm not sure how many went out before 22 Feb 1999, but oh well, two million still feels like a fun milestone. Figure about 3x that for news articles viewed via the web interface, plus who-knows-what for NNTP messages served (individual article fetches aren't logged -- only connections), and then the numbers really get big. Anyway, the overall article count is nice and straightforward. :-) --Todd p.s. BTW, I once read a few months ago that AOL's webservers together serve 28,000 page views per _second_!

I've also tried viewing the LUGnet web site, but I don't see anything there either. Nothing in (...) (25 years ago, 28-Jan-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.loc.us.ma.bos)

Todd, I noticed that LUGNET will be hitting a milestone very soon. If my calcultions are correct on Thursday of next week if current averages hold LUGNET will receive its 100,000th post. Now I won't be sitting hitting refresh just to try and get the (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
