I spent about six months quitting - yeah, bloody slow, for the same reason I did quit. Leaving Debian neatly takes a remarkable amount of work. This is also distorted by my habit when I was younger of writing many short (1-2 sentence) mails in one thread, to make it easier for people with threading MUAs to follow the discussion. Later on I lost enthusiasm for making the effort (people grumble anyway, so you might as well not expend the time), and tended to batch up my comments into larger mails, which may explain the apparent downwards curve. And still apparently sent less than one mail per day. Go figure. Sure felt like more. If anyone cares to make a more detailed analysis, it would probably be more interesting to look at the total number of bytes sent per poster (before and after stripping inline patches and mime attachments). Unfortunately it still wouldn't tell you whether the authors were obsessive, highly-committed geniuses, or just plain stupid. Measuring the wrong thing. Try comparing lines of code still in the archive to lines of list postings, although that would be a real bitch to compute. [Yeah, not dead yet.
