>From Tom Chipperfield:
*I* can't believe that this doesn't count the
19 posts that "You can do this so much easier under Linux"
11 posts that no, Windows NT is better for changing light bulbs
21 posts that "M$" has intentionally made NT Workstation braindead so
that you'll have to buy NT Server to change light bulbs
9 posts of thinly-disguised lightbulb-changing homework assignments 12
posts complaining about the signal-to-noise ratio on this list and the
one guy who continually drags his hatred of the Clintons *and* Newt
Gingrich into every discussion.

I can't believe this omits the 5 who attempted to unsubscribe from the list
by posting an "unsubscribe" message to the list.
