- Before I attempt to do it, has someone already done some analysis on the
- stuff it produces ? i.e. Gather ALL articles originating from the site for
- a certain period of time and check posting dates/times, length, consistency,

- As a sidenote, I have to admire the thing : from a follow-up posting by me
- only containing two words (posted to soc.culture.turkish) it deduced that
- I was myopic (TRUE !!, but not severely, and I do wear specs), cross-posted to
- a dozen newsgroups and directed followups back to soc.culture.turkish
- Clearly a case of "I can shout louder than you can."
