442 NEXUS::P_RYER 12-FEB-1987 90 Science Fiction and
Christianity: Incompatible?
There's only one book (trilogy actually) and one movie in the top ten.
The three topics devoted to one author with the most replies were:
136 RAVEN1::HOLLABAUGH 13-SEP-1984 49 asimov
277 NANOOK::DEBERRY 31-OCT-1985 44 Piers Anthony
309 PROSE::WAJENBERG 6-MAR-1986 30 David Brin
There were 45 notes devoted to specific writers, 147 to specific
books or series of books, and 65 to specific movies or TV shows.
The 605 base notes had 234 authors, of which these were the top ten:
27 LYNCH
19 KLAES
18 MAXSON
18 KALLIS
18 REDFORD
16 BALS
15 ASANKAR
12 GOUN
12 BOYAJIAN
10 RAVAN
10 POSTPISCHIL
If we count both base notes and replies, there were 584 authors and
8157 messages. These were the top ten authors of both notes and replies:
683 BOYAJIAN
571 KLAES
410 WAJENBERG
314 KALLIS
234 POSTPISCHIL
198 REDFORD
191 MARSHALL
183 RUDMAN
143 FEHSKENS
130 BUTENHOF
These ten accounted for about 38% of all messages. Larry, you might
catch Jerry yet! The rest of us don't have a hope.
There were an average of 12.5 replies to each base note.
The conference began on 8-dec-1983, and the last note was on 21-apr-1988.
That's 1915 days, so on average there was a new base note every 3.2 days and
4.3 messages per day. That's a fair amount of traffic. Does
anyone know if sf.note is one of the larger or more heavily visited
non-work notes files?

I gotta beleive that Soapbox has the heaviest traffic! I tried
to participate, but find I don't even have the time to follow it!
No great loss though ;-)

Carbuffs, also, is one of the most unwieldy conferences you'll
ever find. SF is average, and not too bad for a newcomer to scan
through and read old notes that are of interest (I did this not
long ago).

P.S. Movies is also ridiculous. I deleted it because it was
too big to bother with.

While this is somewhat interesting, it is not science fiction,
nor is it any of the other items allowed in this conference.
See note 1.56.
If you wish to discuss notes file statistics, start your own
notes file for that purpose, and by all means let me know and
I'll post a pointer to it here.
This topic is now write-locked. It will remain here, unless
someone really objects, but let's not have any more of this.
