Considering I've posted 336 messages (not including this one) to ruby-talk
so far in 2003, I'm responsible for around 3% of the volume, with almost
2.5 postings per day :) Now, who'd have the questionable honor of being
the fastest poster?... (could as well be me :-P)

state = :FIND_MSG

while line = gets
  case state
  when :FIND_MSG
    state = :FIND_DATA if line =~ /^From /
  when :FIND_DATA
    if line =~ /^To: (.*)/ && !to
      to = $1
    elsif line =~ /^Date: (.*)/ && !date
      date = $1
    end
    if to && date
      year, month = ParseDate.parsedate date
      count += 1 if to == "ruby-talk@ruby-lang.org" && year == 2003
      to = date = nil
      state = :FIND_MSG
    end
  end
end


puts "Sent #{count} messages to ruby-talk this year."
batsman@tux-chan:/tmp/milio$ cat Sent.all | ruby analize.rb
Sent 336 messages to ruby-talk this year.
