If Jim doesn't mind me sharing his private reply with the list: On Fri, 19 Jul 1996 18:59:17 +1000 Jim Wowchuk asked: >Chatting with a friend about the net, we were wondering how many users are >subscribed. (Naturally, we can't see News lurkers). Also how many users >make contributions? We must be overdue for some statistics, if you've got >them handy. :) Thanks Jim, I almost forgot. We have over a year's worth of stats since I last reset the counts, and they're probably due to be reset again, but I will wait until after HPWorld. So here we go... These are counts of postings to the list. People with more than one address may appear more than once. There are just under 1500 names in the list of active participants. We've done over 11,000 postings since last June, with a daily average of 28 articles. I won't post the entire list here, but if you are interested, send a message to [log in to unmask] with text: stats hp3000-l (I think that will work since I restricted reviewing the list itself; if it doesn't work, e-mail me and I'll send you the list). Anyway... the "top 100" contributors to the list...
