- I pulled the 2 versions of the Year in Review from the clari.feature.dave-barry
- group. The short version measured 8240 bytes, while the long version measured
- 48686 bytes. The short version had only a few entries for each month (as few as
- 2 or 3 in some) while the long had many more (at least 16 in January alone).
