I put all the posts from approximately December 29th (the last ~100
days) into a database for an unrelated project to what I'm posting
here. RFC was just a test group since I'm familiar with it.

I'm completely floored that I'm #2 on the list. I'll do a recount
tomorrow since I'm in severe denial (It may actually have something
to do with the way my newsreader treats my own posts - Really! I'm
innocent! I swear!)

Blake, I can give you a list of all the Google posters, and any
other info you may need as a side effect of this compilation.

As a newcomer here (a few months ago) who did not see your good ol' days,
I'm curious as to what - other than GG crap - you see that you don't like.

I discovered that if you read this through Google Groups, and use
Firefox as your browser, they apparently can filter out a bunch of the
garbage, whereas Internet Explorer doesn't even try.

The browser you're using has nothing to do with the [lack of]
filtering at Google.

Wake up. She noticed MORE filtering with firefox, not less. I'm
suspecting it was more popup suppression, even though she didn't have
the terminology to describe it.

The relative ranking agrees quite well with what I would expect
but I wonder about the actual numbers. I counted my own posts
twice since 9/6/2007 and came up with 266 and I'm rated over
1000 in the last 100 days. It's easy enough to do one count:
just have a window accomodating 10 posts in Outlook Express,
sort the posts and count the necessary window changes to display
all of them. I must admit that I am even a bit surprised at a
number as large as 266 in 212 days!

The numbers seemed high to me, too. I'm doing a second look-see
again. It will take a about a half hour to re-parse everything.
I'm pretty sure the rankings are right, though.

It seems my newsreader is keeps multiple copies of the postings in
it's database. Not sure why, but I'm not looking forward to weeding
through 38,000 posts and 3.7 million lines of headers of text.

Basically, the numbers are off. But the ranking are pretty accurate
I suspect.

Put all the message ID's into a hash table and.... well you
probably have already thought through all that.

It was around 120, IIRC. I was doing some "debugging" using your

Nope. Just emptied my 'outgoing' news message box: 111 messages for
Dec07 through Mar08 and only through one server. Perhaps it counts
messages that were sent but never made it to the group. Lots of stuff
floating out there in cyberspace!

I should mention what I made for dinner tonight: a lamb
coconut curry. I've always wanted a Thai-style lamb curry,
but have never seen one in a Thai restaurant, not even
the short-lived Halal Thai place that was in the Tenderloin.

For this curry, I seasoned the lamb shoulder with cardamom,
salt, pepper, lemon juice and olive oil a couple hours
ahead of time. Then I sauteed first the lamb, and then
some green garlic, and combined these into a mixture of coconut milk,
Thai red chili sauce, and a little tomato paste. I added
some black beans and lettuce because it's what I had,
but basil and carrots would have made it look more like a Thai curry.
It was pretty satisfactory.

Lamb makes the best curries, IMO. I make these a lot using the
CostCo legs.

For sure. I'm just used to south Asian lamb curries, not Thai
ones.

It looks like there's coconut milk in at least the green one,
true?

Steve,
Hadn't heard of 'green garlic' before. I'll have to find some and give it
a try.

I grow a lot of garlic, but I am so enamored of the scapes, that it'd
break my heard to dig up the green garlic. Green garlic is nice, but
the scapes are divine.

o.k., saved that one, too. i have most of these names - i guess the

Thanks. This is the first time I haven't seen myself in the top 5
posters when someone does something like this. <patting self on back>
I really *have* cut back.

Right. For somebody that made 28 posts in the last 10 hours, that's
really 'cutting back', IMHO...

LOL! OK - I won't break my arm patting myself on the back, but I'm
not on the list either. That's really saying something.

Heh heh heh. I think it has something to do with the fact that you don't
use an email address (valid or otherwise) in your 'from' header - who
knows?

Hmm. Not sure how you made the list as I didn't take into my
account my killfile, which reads:

[rec.food.cooking]
!delete From "Mark Thorson"
!delete From "Rod Speed"
!delete From "Gregory Morrow"
!delete From "sf"

So how you even made the list is a mystery. My newsreader must not
actually physically delete them from the database, just hides them.

Oops. I misread her post. Gregory, sf, and Thorson didn't make the
lists due to prejudice.

What are you talking about? You have me listed
for 282 postings.

I would like to know how you arrived at these figures (and WTF you would
need them for)? What about posters who use 'socks', BTW? I am fairly
sure you didn't pull the posts from the Google archive - that's never
right as it seems to honor the X-No-Archive header (sometimes)... Did
you go to the trouble of saving all the posts in a 'database' yourself
(every day) or what? Just curious.

I'm not.
