The script by jwz measures noise as empty lines and quotes beginning with
">", which is easy to get around. I was writing a new script which took into
account the entire message when making its calculations, instead of
line-by-line as Jamie's does.
However, I'm fed up with this whole ridiculous exercise, and I'm sorry I
continued it by posting the newer stats this week. It was fun for a bit, but
it's just cranking up the noise without giving us any signal in return. I'm
considering removing the Pearls stats as well.
