of the entire " User-Agent ", " X-Newsreader ",
" X-HTTP-UserAgent " or " X-Mailer " field.

For example, the following " X-HTTP-UserAgent " field
becomes " FF 2.0 XP_B4QB ", where " B4QB " is the hash:
" Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3)
Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3,gzip(gfe),gzip(gfe) ".

But, to implement it, I needed a list of newsreaders,
which lead to list of people using them.

After Kurt said " 100 people post to Sci.Physics ",
I decided to report the number of people who've posted here
in the last week. ( Note, each nymshift is counted as a " person " )

The answer is 462, see:

( Note, the .TXT file needs FireFox or Visual Studio, IE7 munges it )

Big deal.

Ok.

You are an idiot.

About 400 people posted to Sci.Physics in the last week.
( 8 days, actually ), to wit:

I found 216 " rigs " ( i.e. browser congigurations ).
" T_Wake:19.7 " means T_Wake averages about 20 posts per day here.

Jeff, I never knew you cared.

One caveat: my newsreader allows me to inject that info manually so I
can change it.
Your data assumes that people aren't playing with headers.

You need an response to at least one of your points below.

People of these groups created their mess. People insulted people.
People talked to people who insulted people. People talked to those
people. Good people left. Physics people left. There are about 100
ideits who write articles for these groups.

Jeff is right about a lot of things - relativity - time and space are
the same - people can disagree about what is the future - a lot of
people think the future has happened

Ideits insult Jeff. Jeff is right about what relativity says. The
ideits who write articles for these groups do not understand
relativity.

I don't insult him any more. I killfiled him because he admitted he
owes a huge amount of back child support. He defends himself by saying
his kids are grown up, and that the mother took them with her when she
left him, which IMO does nothing to absolve him of his responsibility.
I have no interest in anything he has to say until he pays up.

I have no idea whether you respect my opinions, but I figure you
ought to have as much information about him as you can get to make up
your own mind.
