For the last eight months, here's a very unscientific study rounded to
multiple of 10 entirely for the convenience of me:

Rob     1020
Vern    960
Joe     420
Al      300
Andy    280
Booth   280
Leif    280
Gibbs** 240
Steve   240
Adam    240
Chuck   210
Mark    180
Scott   170
Eric    170
Mike    160
Chris   160

Now, I don't count Gibbsie, 'cuz many of his were ADMIN notices.  That being
the case, it's interesting.  There are Rob and Vern at about 1000, and then
me WAY down the list at 400.  After that, positions 3-10 cover the 200-300
post range.  And then there is a sizable group in the 150-200 range (I
probably missed a few).  There's an even bigger group at 100-150 (including
Dan and Buck).

Buck NOT being in the top 10 was interesting, but he's active everywhere, it
seems. Leif snuck in the top 10 sorta unexpectedly, mostly bashing OS/400
security unmercifully <smirk>.  And Adam was a complete sleeper, but as you
might guess, he's a regular, especially when the OS/400 vs. Win/Unix
discussions get going.

Anywho, I did this very off the cuff.  It's probably not even all that
accurate.  But then again, given the names, it ain't so far from reality,
either <grin>.
