People seem to complain after the fact.  In this case, a sample
set of statistics was posted to the net several weeks ago with
requests for comments (to which I, for one, responded favorably)
When it was apparent then that there was general approval of
the stats, a mail discussion was held, with format and frequency
debated.  It was decided that the stats would be posted in
their current format at intervals of two weeks; room, of course,
was left for change to adapt to changing conditions.  If you
don't like the stats now, why didn't you complain then?
