P-List traffic

[Toby G Levy]

I am not a fan of high traffic email lists.  Most of the time when the
message traffic exceeds 30 messages a day it's mostly blather and
unreadable.  Is it just my approaching old age crankiness, or has the
p-list gotten out of hand?  Here's an analysis of message traffic in
October:

Total messages: 1878 (over 60 a day)

Total number of people posting to the list: 102
Total number of those posting once a week or less: 55
Total number posting less than once a day: 87

Number of posts by those who posted more than once a day:

Keith McMullen      41
Tore Rye Andersen   42
mikebailey          43
rich                43
David Casseres      44
Otto                44
malignd             45
Steven              62
robinlandseadel     67
Paul Mackin         73
David Morris        78
Carvill John        98
pynchonoid         202
Dave Monroe        217
Ya Sam             226

These 15 people accounted for 70 per cent of the traffic
The top ten posters accounted for almost 60 per cent of the traffic
