However: $ grep '^From: ' debian-users | sort | uniq -d | wc -l 270 Which means over the past two weeks (I expire mail over 2 weeks old), there are only 270 people who posted more than once to debian-user. So, you could say of those 2598 subscribers, only 270 have been "active" the past two weeks. I was still disappointed by the turnout. I had only 16 responses after 3 days, and only got more by sending another mail urging people to respond. -- Society is never going to make any progress until we all learn to pretend to like each other. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
