Hmm, I don't think it ranked how often people posted (e.g., frequency) but
listed the total numbers of articles posted by each person for a few groups.
Anyway, here's an up-to-date list across all LUGNET newsgroups (I'll post
something another time broken down by group)...  This is counting the X-Real-
Life-Name header (and ignoring externally-originated articles that don't have
that header) and not counting messages posted automatically by the system
itself...trimmed to the most active 1000 (of 2900) posters...

There ya have it.

In case anyone is interested, I compiled the data into an Excel spreadsheet.
If you want it e-mail me at hobartrus@hotmail.com and I'll send it your way.

Some interesting (though useless) facts:

There were a total of 178,707 posts amongst the most active 1000 posters,
making the average 178.707 posts per person.

The number one poster, Larry Pieniazek with 6302 posts, posted 0.035% of the
overall posts counted.

The number of posts that ranked 1000th was 19.  Those posts comprise a mere
0.00001% of the total posts counted.  There are 19 people who have 19 posts
each... is it a coincidence, or a conspiracy?

Sorry for the useless info, my pop's a statistician and it runs in my blood.

(...) Uh oh, time for a blood transfusion! 6302/178707 = 3.5% 19/178707 = .01% 19*19/178707 = .2% --Todd (24 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.people)
