<Other interesting words snipped>

I'm actually wondering about several statistics, like deepest thread (by
message count :-), widest thread, skinniest thread (not sure how to define
that one), largest thread by kb, largest thread by message count, most
prolific poster, starting-most-threads poster, ending-most-threads poster,
etc.  With Names Attached.  You know, really nasty stuff for gossiping
purposes.  :-,

I'd probably end up with the Ends thread nomination... I seem to have a good
knack at that stuff...


But writing such a tool would require time, which I am in dire need of now.
One of those back-burner projects, I guess.  I'll put it with the DAT2VRML
filter I'm also planning (2), and fixing my garbage disposal which I have
put off for too long (3).

VRML.  IMHO it would be tres cool serving VRML-ized DAT files from LUGNET,
for those who don't want to bother viewing plain ol' DAT files...

3.  Do not, reapeat, do *NOT* try to crush gravel in yours.  Nor should you
allow punky nephews to try the same without a baseball bat within your
reach.

Ummm better gravel than lego though don't you think??? at least I do :)

(...) Actually, I got the number of threads just by counting the number of thread lines in my nntp client's "thread view". I'm assuming that Netscape Collabra defines the start of a thread as either a message which has no References: header, or a (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jun-99, to lugnet.general)
