Newsgroup statistics for December 2003 are now available

In keeping with the annual pattern, the number of posts in December
dropped compared to previous months.

The number of large posts dropped dramatically since March 2003, which
is when I suspect MS stopped allowing people to attach files to posts
made from its CDO web-to-NG portal.

Interestingly enough, the number of multi-posts and cross-posts also
seem to have dropped slightly in the last half of the year. Could it
be because of the increasing popularity of web-to-NG portals?

Writing about web-to-NG portals, three of the top four posting sources
are such portals.

Among individual posters, Tom Ogilvy and Dave Peterson maintained their
unrelenting pace of 33-35 posts / day! The chase pack is far behind
with an average that is somewhat less than 1/2 the volume of the
leaders.

For more interesting tidbits see the Excel | Newsgroup Statistics
section of my web site.
