- People on the net have written an amazingly large number of useful packages,
- yet for comp.sources.reviewed:
- The ratio of administrative articles to sources postings is amazingly high.
- The number of programs posted per month is amazingly low.
- The total number of distinct* packages posted is amazingly low.
- The percentage of submissions that do not get resubmitted is too high.
- The number of initial submissions is amazingly low.
-
- I believe the group is about as useless as c.s.unix was at its worst.
