CF: traffic on this list (time waster :-)



I have been on this list for some time now, and I kept an archive of
everything but the spam and misdirected unsubscribe requests.  Since I
wrote a small program for counting the messages received during some
period of time, I decided to waste a few minutes of your time with
this useless data:

+---------+-------------------------------------------------------------------+

Although I subscribed to the list before 1995, I didn't save
everything at that time, so I did not include the messages received
before the 1st of January 1995.

By the way, does someone remember when the maps were still in two
parts (one for the objets, one for the background)?  I cannot remember
when that was, but I know that I joined the list a few months before
the change was made.  I think it was in 1993, but I'm not sure.

Looking at the graph, it seems that February is a very quiet month,
but people wake up in March/April.  December seems to be a busy month
too.  There, I have succeeded in wasting a few minutes of your time... :-)
