So, I had a look at whether pure numbers would support the
suggestion that quoting behaviour was not up to speed on this
list.
Considering the last 888 emails to php-dev, the script found
the following quoted/original ratio:
1%: >= 17.25
5%: >= 6.25
10%: >= 3.50
15%: >= 2.75
I.e. 5% of the emails contain at least 6.25 quoted lines per
single original line.
(Empty original/quoted lines are dropped.)
The script also looked at 10% of the messages with the
highest ratio. It computed the average ratio for these
messages per sender. The top 10 follows :-)
Marcus Börger avg of 13.02 in 11 postings
Markus Fischer avg of 11.05 in 2 postings
Ilia A. avg of 10.85 in 4 postings
Andrei Zmievski avg of 10.16 in 3 postings
Andi Gutmans avg of 8.97 in 14 postings
John Coggeshall avg of 8.43 in 6 postings
Moriyoshi Koizumi avg of 8.27 in 10 postings
George Schlossnagle avg of 7.69 in 3 postings
Jani Taskinen avg of 7.31 in 3 postings
Xavier Spriet avg of 7.27 in 2 postings
(For a realistic picture, I dropped records with a single
posting, because those are true accidents. Otherwise, Thies
would have won with a ratio of 60.08 in one posting.)
