First of all gammy old boy, the appearance of people in the top 25 means nothing if the postings are meaningful. There are lots of technical newsgroups that are useful to the net, and you'll never find multiple postings from me in net.games or net.singles, for example. I tend to stick to the technical groups, with an occasional net.misc or net.flame thrown in. The stats can, by the way, be broken massively by the ARPA gateways, where digests are sometimes broken up into separate messages, and volume figures can be distorted by the inclusion of one newswire story in a message. But as long as we're on the subject, even with the ARPA distortions to the Usenet stats, I only occasionally show up in the top 25, so I really don't know what you're bitching about. Try act like an adult. --Lauren--
