Notes
=====
- A line in the body of a post is considered to be original if it
does *not* match the regular expression /^\s{0,3}(?:>|:|\S+>|\+\+|\|\s+|\*\s)/.
- All text after the last cut line (/^-- $/) in the body is
considered to be the author's signature.
- The scanner prefers the Reply-To: header over the From: header
in determining the "real" e-mail address and name.
- Original Content Rating is the ratio of the original content volume
to the total body volume.
- Please send all comments to Christopher Browne <cbbr...@acm.org>

Are there really only about 10 posters here, or did we just win the

Considering that I'm one of the top ten *and* one of the bottom ten
posters, I think the number of posters is getting small.

Or, we could have come off of a holiday week and the number of
posters _was_ small...

The number of posters was 96. It's strange that there
can be 96 posters and the top 10 and bottom 10 posters
for the same property (OCR in this case) can still have
a non-Ø intersection.

Not at all. Only 17 people posted at least five postings,
which is the discriminant for being part of the OCR stats.
