Stats for uk.legal.moderated, 2023

[Mark Goodge]

Here's a look back at the stats for uk.legal.moderated for last year. I've
posted them here, rather than in the group itself, because they're possibly
a bit too meta.

Important disclaimers: this is based on posts received by my news server, so
yours may not be quite the same. Contributors are based solely on distinct
"From:" headers, no attempt is made to combine stats for people who post
using different versions of their identity. Subjects are based solely on
distinct "Subject:" headers, again, no attempt is made to combine variants.
The software doesn't decode UTF8, this is a known bug that is still awaiting
the tuit supply to be topped up but, in the meantime, will affect the stats.
A maximum of 50 entries are shown in each section.

The main difference that makes is it disguises the fact that JNugent is
by far and away the top poster with 2,310 posts compared to Roger's 1,626.

[Norman Wells]

And, coming up on the outside are the Perry twins, both in the top 20,
but looking remarkably similar.

Is there a prize?

I don't post anonymously either here or in ulm. If you don't understand
that, you will have to look up what 'anonymous' means, since it seems
you have no idea.

Otherwise, of course, you could always ask 'Todal'.

There's no 'issue', just an observation.

I think I've asked you this before, but I'll ask again. If you wish to
deny your anonymity, send me some real world contact details which I can
verify.

[Norman Wells]

Why?

It's *your* claim that I post anonymously when that is clearly a lie.

[Fredxx]

You post anonymously, get over it.

If you prove who you are then that changes. Until then you're an
anonymous poster, much like Todal, just more on the sly using what looks
like a real name.

No I don't.

Look it up, as I told Mr Perry so I shouldn't have to tell you, and stop
lying.

Like Fredxx you mean?

It's not a problem for me, nor should it be for anyone. If it's a
problem for you, you'll just have to get over it as best you can.

No, you take on a name purporting to be a real person. That is the sort
of thing I would expect from a sly person.

So you admit it's not a lie. I was never on it so nothing for me to get
over, however much you wish otherwise?

[Norman Wells]

So what? Why should I care what *you* expect?

I don't post 'anonymously' just as a simple matter of plain English.

Look it up.

Yes it is, and you are an utter hypocrite if you level any criticism at
me for posting 'anonymously' when you post as 'Fredxx' purportedly from
'spam.invalid'.

> I was never on it so nothing for me to get
> over, however much you wish otherwise?

Well, it's apparently a problem for Mr Perry, and you were jumping on
his bandwagon, so you seem to have the same problem. If you don't, what
was the point of your post?

[Fredxx]

I am blatantly anonymous. If you think otherwise then you are utterly
thick. You on the other hand make out that you are not anonymous yet
hide behind a different identity and then claim you don't post
anonymously. That makes you a liar.

It's only a problem when you lie and claim you don't post anonymously.

[Norman Wells]

Then you're a blatant hypocrite too.

Who says it's 'a different identity'? In any case, different to what?
It's what's called in English a 'hanging comparative'.

Look it up.

The argument anyway was over whether I post anonymously, which I don't,
not about lying, which I don't either.

It's not a problem for me, nor should it be for anyone. If it's a
problem for you, you'll just have to get over it as best you can.

As I said.

[Fredxx]

In your eyes, maybe. But someone who posts anonymously and doesn't hide
behind a legitimate name has more integrity that someone who hides
behind the name Norman Wells.

Since you're a narcissist I know you won't agree, and certainly won't
able to see the argument.

You post anonymously in a sly way using a name that appears genuine.
Your claim of not posting anonymously simply goes to show what a liar
you truly are.

[JNugent]

How do you (think you) *know* that "Norman Wells" is a nom-de-plume?

It doesn't sound inherently false, does it?

[Fredxx]

You don't know any different. He doth protest too loudly.

> It doesn't sound inherently false, does it?

That just makes the falsehood a greater lie.
