As a little project I wrote a script that checked all articles available on my news server in gnu.* and comp.* hierarchies to see what share of articles was posted with Gnus. In a nutshell, in gnu.* the share is 38.94%, while in comp.* it's only 1.9%. Total of 5850 articles were checked in gnu.*, and 602000 in comp.*. The script and the full results are posted for your scrutiny at http://soup/~antipode/gnus/ I've put the script in my crontab to run once a month. -- Arcady Genkin http://www.thpoon.com Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
