list slowdown

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I don't delete any of the Urth messages I receive, they are all in their separate mailbox stored locally on my computer. This gives me the ability to do some simple analytics. Here's what I've found.

There have been 2,363 messages posted over the past 63 days (since June 15, when I first started receiving them in message form).

Since then, here are the top 10 posters. In parenthesis are their total posts followed by their posts-per-day (TP / PPD):

01. Josh Geller (361 / 5.7)
02. David Stockhoff (337 / 5.3)
03. Jeff Wilson (250 / 3.9)
04. Ryan Dunn (200 / 3.17)
05. James Wynn (183 / 2.9)
06. Lee Berman (175 / 2.77)
07. Antonio Marques (153 / 2.4)
08. John Watkins (115 / 1.8)
09. Gerry Quinn (97 / 1.5)
10. Dan'l Danehy-Oakes (81 / 1.3)
