Subject: [ruby-talk:27339] Continued volume growth in november

Hi,

I ran some stats on ruby-talk up to and including november 2001. Some
facts:

 * 2939 posts compared to 2116 in october 01 and 1208 in september.
 * I have deleted the 179 old posts that was reposted because of gateway
   trouble on the 16-17 nov so 2939 is the correct number of posts (apart
   from a handful of spams but I've left them in all of the data).
 * I've listed the "faulty", reposted messages below for the record...

There is a new graph at 

  http://rockit.sourceforge.net/ruby-talk-postings-stats.png

showing the continued growth in volume.

If anyone thinks this is useful maybe we should move it to
ruby-talk.com? Having it at the Rockit site is not logical. 
Who controls ruby-talk.com?

Regards,

Robert

# There was a problem in November 2001 where old mails were reposted.
# I have checked the Posted field of all messages
#  25000-25700 (since Dave Thomas then fixed the problem)
# to find the faulty ones. They are listed below and taken away before the 
# analysis. In total there were 179 faulty postings.
