Well, yes, there is a correlation that those who write much tend not to write utter crap. Which might be due to the fact, that they'd get discouraged by more knowledgable people. You need at least another criterion: how long has someone written much? And what kind of mails has that someone written? We've had trolls in suse-linux, where the troll went way up in the stats...

There, you can only find who is most active, which may or may not correlate to the quality of mails. >and who participate aat a list for a certain time. For which you'd need to look at the stats-archive. [..] >May be it is a way that list members may rate the writers on their >wiki member page (if there is one). I don't have one. And I don't plan to get one. I _HATE_ the register here, become a member there, yadda yadda. And I keep score in my head, mostly. And I don't remember you from suse-linux, which may be related to your non-existent (real-)name. And if you were new to the list while I was mailing the stats... Would you mind to help me to recognize you? BTW: I think you choice of Subject was not a good one. -dnh -- >> This needs quotes: >> use lib "/path/to/perl/modules"; > Single or double quotes?
