I wonder if this is better now, but I'm afraid not, as my local
newsserver purges more than I told it. :-(

MCT shows up now at least, and makes it into the top 5. :-)

So the script will not sum up all of your articles then. ;-)

Better use only one name to be a top poster.

Google shows 662 posts for the month. Here are Google's monthly totals
for the year to date:

January 1020
February 894
March 871
April 468
May 507
June 662

The average so far for the year is 737, which is well above the average
for the same time period in 2002. The slowest month so far in 2003
would have been the busiest month up to this point in 2002.

Not that this has anything to do with the User agent stats, but MCT, every
time I read one of your posts, I picture you as a young Elizabeth Taylor.
Keep up the good work... :-) LOL!
