These are the months soc.motss statistics for the month of December 1993. These statistics are gathered from the articles as they appear at the site pyra.co.uk. Crosspostings to some of the 'alt' groups may not appear in the statistics due to local group restrictions. The statistics are split up into 4 sections - The top 30 in each category: Crosspost by number, Author by size of postings, Author by number of postings, Subject by number of postings (with '[Rr][Ee]: parts removed), Subject by size of postings. The Subject postings have an extra field in them which corresponds to the person who started that particular subject thread. This field may consist of '----' if it isn't possible to work out who started it. If someone makes an addition to a Subject: line, that person is considered to be the author of the new thread with the new subject. Mail addresses in this last form are truncated to 25 characters. People are counted by their 'Real Name' as opposed to mail address as these seem to change less oftern than mail addresses/names of machines. If anyone wants the full list rather than just the top 30, drop me a line at one of the addresses in my signature.
