I'd noticed that.
In my case, it's not so much posting a lot of original content as it is
editing down what I'm responding to in order to keep only the relevant
bits, I think.

Well, the ones I like are and the ones that annoy me aren't. ;-)
Seriously, for words like that I've been using wordnet.princeton.edu as
my referee. Kinda makes the cut because it's there, sorta doesn't
because it isn't. However if there's a consensus to add them I'll do it.

Did you like the new graphs? Or is everyone looking at this with a

I haven't yet worked out how to read the average posts per hour.
ra...@westnet.poe.com
No, I've got fixed width, but I must admit that whiel I found the graps
nifty and a good way to represent the info, they're just a bit big, and
often end up scrolling between screens. While the time of day info is
nice to see (we're mostly a group that posts during the week for example)
the spelling, post count, and original content stats are the most
interesting to me.
But I figure those bit are what was fun for you to code up and by all
means have fun with the stats.

OK, you have room to speak, having not made the 300 or higher milliraven
list of misleppers, but I'm keeping my eye on you, Boulding.
Hey Pixel, how about rating the misleppers in milliravens? :)

I normally use a proportional font, but it's no problem to switch to
a monospaced font. I can never remember which key I have assigned to
that, but it only takes one click of the mouse.

(in article <zoWJg.4169$B14.2565@dukeread03>):
I use a proportional font, but can switch easily enough.
However, if you would rotate the graphs 90 degrees clockwise, you
could make them work in proportional fonts, too, and not have to
worry (as much) about the width, either.

Same here, except that there's no keyboard shortcut available for it
in Agent. I'd hoped they'd have fixed that by v3.3 - maybe v4 has
one.

You're in luck: you did it in caps, so it's ll get ignored, well, in the
orginal context, you did it all in lower case the second time and that one
will get picked up.

Thanks so much for all of this.
I have just plunked down 29 bucks in virtual money (which is how I think of
credit cards) to actually buy Agent 4.0. I must not have it calibrated
right, though, because your stats have me being the most-frequent poster
during the 0900 GMT hour, which is 4:00 to 5:00 am Central Time. It is
very unusual for me to be awake during that hour, and I'm reasonably sure
my cat Magic has not yet learned to type.

I'm using Agent 4. I switch between fixed-width and proportional fonts by
dropping down the "View" menu and clicking the desired font style. I see
no shortcut.
Peter Ward
I'd like to see an extra space at the start of each line, as "|" is
defined here as a quote character, because some people use it as that,
of course. This means that some of the lines of the graph are blue
(supposedly quoted), and some are black, which is a bit disconcerting
for some reason.
I normally use a proportional font, but it's no problem to switch to a
fixed font for the stats (or anything else which needs it).
You're doing a great job.

That's one of the problems caused by people who don't use the
recommended ">". Conventions and standards are what make things work;
deviation from them is what breaks things. Good example, and thanks for

Not as far as I can tell in 3.3. If there is that facility, maybe
it's hidden in a file somewhere.
To be honest, since I plan on going for version 4 soon, I'm not
spending a lot of time learning 3.3 - so the answer is basically "I
dunno, but I bet Nick does".

Thanks for the report. Most of the bugs I find are due to specific
problems like this people notice so it's very helpful.

Thanks again, Estron.
It turns out all the dates where I was being tricky and figuring out the
local time by pulling a field from the X-Trace data were being
calculated backwards. So stuff you posted around 11PM local was showing
up as 4AM instead. It's doing its 1 1/2 hour data processing thing now
to correct all those times.

No change in that respect in 4. I use a toolbar button. The big changes
in, 4 are in email junk filtering and non-junk destination assignment. The
only significant, and very much so, improvement for usenet is Ignore
Subthread.

I don't think that I post after 11 pm very often. Between 10 and 11,
sometimes, but very rarely after 11. If 2300 refers to 11pm-midnight, then
you should check to see why your script thinks I am.

My wife and I went on a diet earlier this year. I've been weighing myself
virtually every morning for months, and putting the data into a
spreadsheet. The other day, I imported the data into JMP and applied the
Western Digital statistical process control rules to it to look for out
of control days. I also did an analysis to see if any day of the week was
significantly different than other days. From this, I reached an almost
inevitable conclusion: I'm both a dork and a geek.

And would add that nothing's broken. So don't quote me as saying
otherwise (I know you haven't really done so yet, but I can see
potential for it).
>I don't really care that you do, but you shouldn't have to.
Says who? I don't find it a problem. There are things in life which
are worth worrying about, this isn't one of them. If some of the
lines on the graphs remain blue it won't really bother me, but Pixel
asked a question and I answered.
I'm not part of your sad netcop Pnony[1], so don't try and drag me
into it or use anything I post in an attempt to support it, please.
[1] Pixel, is there any way you can accomodate ROT13, spelling-wise?
Again, just a thought, probably not worth the effort. Not used that
often here, anyway, eh[2]. Right, nothing to see here, move along.
[2] But I do think Furrfu is a much better word than Sheesh.

We could have told you that.

I had it that way on 1.93, but haven't got around to doing it on 3.3 -
I'm about to upgrade to 4 anyway. I'd still prefer a keyboard
shortcut quicker than Alt+V F and Alt+V V, which I use. I don't
normally use the mouse at all in Agent.
>Did the audio hub work out for you?
Not arrived yet - I'm looking forward to taking it for a spin -
thanks.
I have tested the line out to the hifi system, though, and it sounds
absolutely wonderful.

ROT13 changes one euphemism for a Bad Word to another euphemism for
another Bad Word. Well done.

Not that this is important or anything, I'm just saying.

I'd always thought that "sheesh" (which is mainly a LeftPondian
expression) was a euphemism for "jeez", itself a euphemism for "Jesus
fucking H Christ" and its cousins.
Am I wrong?

Or maybe a carrier pigeon? It's certainly taking a while, but then
I've no idea how long transatlantic parcel deliveries normally take.

Albatross maybe (imagine a snack vendor selling "ALBATROSS!"...), as I
believe the payload capacity on a pigeon is rather low.

With reference to your KVM project - I recall that you were
temporarily stopped because one of your systems uses USB for the mouse
and keyboard, and the KVM only has PS2 connectors. Is that a correct
assesment? If so, I might be able to solve another problem. Somewhere
around here I have a cord that has a male USB end, and two female PS2
connectors for mouse and keyboard. They should be somewhere in one of
the boxes of junk I have stacked in the computer room. If that is
what is holding you back, let me know - I'll dig it out and send it
along. If it's not what you need, I won't dig for it, but I'm more
than happy to send it along if it will help. I have two KVM switches
in my office, and I'd certainly hate to be without them. I sometimes
take one along when I'm helping a client prep a new computer to relace
the old one. We use PC Relocater, which does a pretty good job of
moving the applications from the old to the new.

The audio hub is pretty light - weighs a little more than a thumb
drive, but not a lot more.

Thanks again, Bob, but the problem is actually the reverse of what you
describe - keyboard and mouse have USB connections, not PS/2. If they
had PS/2 plugs, I'd be able to use the KVM I have (which doesn't have
USB).
It's no big deal - I'm getting a new mouse on Wednesday, and that
includes a USB->PS/2 converter - I have one already, so with two I
should be set up with the PS/2 KVM and ready to rock.
I do appreciate the offer, though. Very kind of you!

Because I just don't like "prolly". It seems lazy and affected. I don't
like "pr'haps" or "p'raps" or any other dumb way it's spelled, I don't like
"frex", I don't like "innit". I prefer real words.
"Mislepping" is a Usenet tradition that only bothers me a little bit. It's
like a mosquito bite when the rest are like full blown poison ivy.
"Sorta" and "kinda" are almost real words. I say that because I use them.

That's why I love Xnews. I have my ROT-13 decoder hooked up to the R
key. To decode ROT-13, I just hit R. For ROT-26, I just hit R twice.

I like "prolly" because it has affectionate childhood memories of the
pronunciation of my brother, whom I haven't seen in a number of years,
he being far away across the sea, and I being far away on the other
edge of the continent.
And I use "p'rhaps" because I kinda like slipping into the vernacular.
It sorta reminds me of the intimate, conversational aspects of usenet.

Well, I can't just switch him so I guess I'll just scowl. Here's a line

Aw, I didn't know you cared.
Actually, I have posted with GG, OE, Thunderbird, XNews, Agent, Free

Blinky might not, but SW certainly would. That is, if he comes back.
I don't think he's posted since August 30. Say, you don't suppose the
MPAA got him, do you? There are certainly a few people here who would
not have hesitated to drop on dime on his bit torrent activities.
