  15. Actually the propogation is almost identical, with alt.rush-limbaugh
  16. going to slightly more sites, while alt.fan.r-l gets slightly more

  36. Looking at the actual articles, of the 487 articles I currently have
  37. here, 165 were posted to a.f.r-l, 213 were posted to a.r-l, and 109
  38. were crossposted to both.  It looks to me as if alt.rush-limbaugh is
  39. slightly more popular that alt.fan.rush-limbaugh, and that is the way
  40. I have it aliased here.
