Well, I just barely missed being in the Top 10... I didn't think I wrote
*that* much. Horrors.
Oh well, life goes on. And sometimes life includes coming into work on my
last day of holidays because I just *know* london-list will have tons of
messages waiting for me and I don't want to talk half a day on my first day
back to work to sort through them. Well, it was only 683 IIRC (after 2.5
weeks), but still.
PS The ratty bit of code, should anyone wish to automate this, that
produces this is:
cat $* | formail +1 -x From: -ds | perl -lne
's-\\?--g;s/(\w+), ([\w\s]+\w)/$2 $1/;/^ (\w.*) / and
$p{$1}++; END {printf %20s: %4d\n,$p,$n while ($p,$n) =
each %p}' | sort -t : -k 2,2rn | head -40 | perl -lpe
's-(\d+)$-$1 .*x($1*($s||=50/$1))-e'
Any chance of arm-wrestling Greg Bacon's News::Scan into producing stats
from an mbox?
Cheers,
Philip
