An indication as to how reliable the stats are?

TMT

According to Martin H. Eastburn :
And not a single comment on the massive amount of spam.
You know - the Hijackers - single user single subject - hundreds of them.

Those were very carefully crafted to *not* show up in such lists
of statistics, which are designed to show posting patterns of
individuals who post multiple articles, and groupings of subjects
and threads.

It would need a very different program to gather the statistics
of the recent flood -- where our newsgroup (among many others) was
co-opted to flood sci.crypt.

After all -- it *is* a program, not an individual gathering
these statistics, you know. Yes, an individual runs the program, but he
does not retailor the program each week.

Enjoy,
DoN.

Yeah...I see the same in other groups also...the problem has not gone
away and will likely get worse.
