Huh-- Now, this is odd. Using the search tool, I went back and searched for
posts by me (Todd built in a little date checker-ish thing(1)) to see how
I've done over the years:
1999 - 332
2000 - 354
2001 - 593
2002 - 300
Now, the interesting part (I thought) was that my searches turned up *fewer*
posts than either of Dan's analyses. Why would by searches turn up *less*? I
would expect if anything that my searches would turn up *more*, since people
who used my name would come up (I factored those out in the stats above as
best I could).
For reference, I used search string like: (note for me personally, I also
searched for my old email address, wpieaton, as well)
+david +eaton +deaton <3/6/0 >0/6 (for 2002)
+david +eaton +deaton <3/6/1 >0/6 (for 2001)
+david +eaton +deaton <3/6/2 >0/6 (for 2000)
+david +eaton +deaton <3/6/3 >0/6 (for 1999)
Does this make sense? Are my ranges right?

(1) For those that don't know about it; to use it, append the following
options (as needed) after your search string:
<days/months/years - this specifies about how far back to start searching
(note, this is NOT a fixed date). That way, if I knew a certain post about
candy was written about 1.5 years ago, I could enter:
candy <0/6/1
And although it would list *all* Lugnet posts, it would return the posts
closest to the date specified *first*.
> days/months/years - this is a +/- range. So, give or take this many days, months, and years. So, if I know that candy post was written 1.5 years ago, within 2 months, I could enter:
candy <0/6/1 >0/2
This would ONLY return posts within a 4 month span, centered 1 year, 6
months ago. Note also, since the default 'start' date is the current day,
you can also use this by itself if you know a post was written within the
last X days/months/years. IE if you know a post came up 2 weeks ago about
Fabuland, you can enter:
fabuland >14

| Hi all! I've made a list of the 2002 rockets, that is, the people that increased their posting the most. I used Dan's list of how many posts each person did in 2001 & 2002 and calculated the difference. To keep this post a little shorter (and my (...)
