Have you searched on Google News for how much "rand simberg" authored
stuff there is on sci.space.policy versus the total number of posts?

Please do so and then tell it is nonsense.



How does one have Google do such a count? Can it, say, tell you how many
posts by Rand between such and such a date? Or do you have to count 'em
yourself?

If it does it automatically... post numbers here. Settle the issue.

The Advanced Search Tag seems to work, I searched for Author: "Rand
Simberg" in sci.space.policy between Jan 1980 and the present day.
That got 17,000 hits. I then searched for all archieved
sci.space.policy posts which were about 25,000 - so at least in terms
of the stuff that has been stored, Rand is way ahead of the pack. I've
been down under a couple of aliases but I've a few 1000 - I didn't
search other people.
