I'm sure this is one line of Perl.  :-)

Ahh, something pleasant and geeky for the day!  :-)  Ya, I bet it could be
done in one line of Perl too :) but I just used grep, awk, sort, and uniq
instead because it was less thinking.

OK, considering all articles in the system (as of a couple hours ago), here's
the breakdown:

         #        %  Origin
   -------  -------  --------------------------------------------------
       248    0.22%  ba-lego@cinnamon.com (external mailing list)
      5427    4.75%  lego-robotics@crynwr.com (external mailing list)
      6156    5.39%  lugnet.*@lugnet.com (lugnet mailing lists)
      7246    6.34%  handyboard@media.mit.edu (external mailing list)
     35446   31.01%  http://www.lugnet.com/news/post/
     59780   52.30%  direct NNTP access
   -------  -------  --------------------------------------------------
    114303     100%

(This counts all articles exactly once, including cancelled articles, and
also including Handy Board messages, which go back more than 4 years.)

And for something more up-to-date (just the most recent 10,000 articles),
here's the breakdown:

         #        %  Origin
   -------  -------  --------------------------------------------------
         9    0.09%  ba-lego@cinnamon.com (external mailing list)
        77    0.77%  handyboard@media.mit.edu (external mailing list)
       126    1.26%  lego-robotics@crynwr.com (external mailing list)
       387    3.87%  lugnet.*@lugnet.com (lugnet mailing lists)
      4567   46.57%  direct NNTP access
      4744   47.44%  http://www.lugnet.com/news/post/ (web interface)
   -------  -------  --------------------------------------------------
     10000     100%

(...) Would it be greedy to ask for the last 20,000 and 30,000 (or whatever figures), to try and determine if there is a definate increase in web-interface usage, and whether that increase is peaking, or set to continue further?

(...) Mmmm, yummy statistics, thanks! So my suspicion was incorrect overall, but sort of correct for recent posts. Maybe it's just that I read the newer posts, or that the groups that I do read have more web postings. If, as Richard F suspects, (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
