I found some interesting statistic about Usenet traffic rates. The
following are excerpts from _TOP 40 NEWSGROUPS IN ORDER BY TRAFFIC
VOLUME_ created by Brian Reid at DEC Western Research Laboratory.
Msg Volume Msg Traffic
Rank Newsgroup (Mbytes/month) (messages/month)
1 soc.culture.china 3.95 1521
5 comp.sys.amiga 3.10 1605
9 comp.sys.mac 2.41 1587
15 comp.sys.ibm.pc 2.00 1321
18 comp.sys.atari.st 1.74 825
21 comp.sys.apple 1.66 1076
And I wondered why I was having trouble keeping up-to-date with this
newsgroup! Drawing conclusions from this data is left as an exercise
for the reader.
