- Well in the last 12 days we have received 597 messages in comp.os.vms
- (excluding the FAQs) covering 223 distinct subjects[%]. The most popular
- subject (with 23 articles) was 'vax c' (which was really about fsync() and
- fflush()) and the second most popular (with 18) was 'butthead'. At least 7
- other threads (containing 21 articles) were meta-discussions on flaming.
-
- In a nutshell, 6.5% of the articles were discussions about flames (and I
- guess quite a few more were the flames themselves :-). Hope this helps. Neil.
