It strikes me that a very interesting statistic to go along with the top-25 posters and the arbitron statistics would be a "top-25 KILL-file targets" list. Maybe it would create some humility among some of the more rash posters on the net, to realize that so many people considered them fools. Of course, the statistic might be more interesting if you established a rule that no one listed in a KILL file should have his KILL files counted; this might prevent the presumably-strange predilections of the Mr. X's from warping the statistics. Then again, I could argue for leaving all the stuff in. A program to do this could be based on the arbitron program. Hmmm.
