Alt Tv Rewind

ZedMar 18, 2002, 3:20 PM ET

Someone on the alt.sci.seti newsgroup told me about this newsgroup stats program and I tried it on this newsgroup to see the results.

You can download the program here:

http://www.geocities.com/brettocallaghan/software/qdnstats.html

I thought it would be interesting to see what kind of numbers I would get from alt.tv.simpsons between 1 March 2002 - 18 March 2002.

If anyone cares to see the results, I am posting them now.

You're a 16-post favorite, and you've got home-court -- you don't need tape! Although I hear he can't go left and has no size underneath. NL

Uh, yeah, speaking of netiquette... Reposting almost 1000 lines of text previously posted so you can add three sentences is just about as offensive as one can get.

About the only thing worse than what you just did is if you reposted it all in HTML.
