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, there has been an increase in web usage over

(or LUGnetters, whichever makes you happy) were refugees from RTL who
had, for the most part, been using newsreaders to access RTL (except
for those who used a portal such as Deja). Then, as LUGNET hits
people's radar and makes it into /. and the SF Chron and other media,
what is mentioned is not news:lugnet.com but http://www.lugnet.com/, so
newcomers first experience LUGNET via the web interface.
