Recently found a page that provided data which could be used to produce the following on the users mailing list.
29286 - Unique number of people that have posted to the mailing list 205089 - Total number of posts 7 - Average # of posts per user (std dev is 84.4 - which supports a highly skewed, peaked distribution). 2756.463 - Kurtosis 46.0032 - Skew [Kurtosis: Higher kurtosis means more of the variance is the result of infrequent extreme deviations, as opposed to frequent modestly sized deviations] [Skew: A positive skew indicates that the tail on the right side is longer than the left side and the bulk of the values lie to the left of the mean. A zero value indicates that the values are relatively evenly distributed on both sides of the mean, typically but not necessarily implying a symmetric distribution.] # of posts # of people 1 18969 2 4543 3 1656 4 861 5 521 6 360 7 291 8 210 9 166 10 131 11-20 648 21-50 459 51-100 211 > 101 260 Thought I'd pass it on... Some may find it interesting. /paul
