Since I'm in the mood to lampoon the "comp.all top 25" list, I present, for your amusement, interest, and health, the twenty-five most popular subject threads in misc.all (determined by message-id only! the AI parser to figure out which articles are actually related has not been implemented yet, and probably never will be). Articles are counted if they arrived at tut.cis.ohio-state.edu between 10AM on October 31 and 11:40AM on November 14. Since all of the work is done from the history file, cross-posting is irrelevant. Subjects and newsgroups are taken from the first article in the thread. Prohibited where law by void.
