OT - Newsgroup stats

[Eric Schreiber]

I always found these sort of things interesting when I've seen them
posted in other groups, so I thought I'd toss this abbreviated report
here for kicks.

Those are cool, any chance you can post them every month? It would be neat
to check them out, that is unless of course it would be considered too OT.

Thanks,

Hmmm... when I do a search here, it does not find
alt.aquaria.freshwater.plants but does find
alt.aquaria.freshwater.misc.

However, it also only goes to 12/31/2003 so it must only be updated
every quarter at the most.

The other problem here is that the report stated there were only 17
messages posted in alt.aquaria.freshwater.misc in December 2003...
seems like it is off.

Oh great--right behind DSK. How will I ever make
as many relevant, helpful and insightful postings
as he does?

The last thing I need is another incentive to spend yet more time in
the newsgroups! Especially with all the programming projects that have
magically appeared on my plate in the last week and my new class
starting yesterday.

Besides, I'd hate to have to slap you down and leave you choking in my
Usenet dust :)

I certainly wouldn't mind, but I can practically guarantee that I won't
remember to.

They're super easy to generate with the newsreader I've just started
using (XanaNews).

You're probably very far behind him. I've got his various incarnations
in my kill file, and I suspect (though I don't know for certain) that
Xananews therefore doesn't count subsequent posts by him.

The most direct path probably starts with a lobotomy :)

I wondered about that-perhaps there is an imposter poster...

There is an extra space between TYNK and 7 in the first instance. What
was someone saying about an impostor ? ;~)

There's no "impostor", hehe.
It's probably just a mistake that Eric made typing it.

Considering my freakish sleep schedule, that's a reasonable assumption.
In this case though the stats are a one-click process with this news
reader. I didn't have to type anything.

Looks like a bug in the newsreader I'm using. As I look through all
your posts with this newsreader, sometimes you have two spaces,
sometimes only one. When I use my old newsreader though, it's always 2
spaces.

Maybe I'll forward this problem to the author's support group. From
what I understand, he's extremely proactive about fixes and features.

Oh you're freaking me out!

7......looks behind me....what was that?

Maybe your bettas are rising up against you. Your husband tried to warn
you about all those tanks, but did you listen? Noooo. Now it's time to
pay the little slimey finned piper!

The author hasn't made a point of advertising it. I have the impression
he wrote it primarily for himself, and decided to share it for free.
He's a Delphi programmer, as am I, and this newsreader is extremely
popular in the Borland newsgroups. Doubly so since he not only wrote it
in Delphi, but he provides the source code as well.
