I think that splitting tor.news into admin and stats is a good first step into realizing an efficient method to administer the Toronto region news. I would still like to know how the rest of you feel about taking the stats a step further. We're gathering lots of data but we are not really doing anything with it and I still think (see my article <136@methods.UUCP> peter@methods.UUCP) that we should do more. So far I haven't heard yea or nay on the matter (apart from the group separation idea). Is anyone else interested? Am I just getting excited about nothing and should maybe take a valium?
