I just noticed these interesting statistics on the Google group (beta)
web site for all time top ten posters to the group. I can't imagine who
that is at number one...

Looks as though Colin should really be number one, though, with a grand
total of 6179.

My guess is numbers 2 and 3 were separated at birth :-)

Just as well I keep modifying my email address for posting in news groups,
else I'd have figured in that list as well:-)

No 2 became No 3 when I changed my subscription with my ISP to a different
type.

That's the problem with using email adress as the measure. I've changed
mine many times in the last five years to avoid spam. Strangely, the
current address gets none, yet has been used for several months now.

My ISP Planet Internet has been taken over and renamed Scarlet. You should
see that change in the "From" address of this post.

The ISP supplied a small piece of software to program users' PCs to convert
the old forms of e-mail address into the new ones. If I stop getting
e-mails on 1st January 2005, I will know it doesn't work ...

I've seen it suggested that spammers now rely more on extracting
addresses from Web pages rather than from newsgroups. (Of course, that
raises the question of whether the Web pages include sites such as
Google Groups.)
