     (a)  Local distribution quirks could mean endless was about
which newsgroups are in the bottom 10.  Uunet's stats may not
reflect what goes on elsewhere on the net.

     (b)  "This article posted to prevent rec.sex.anal.james-joyce
from being in the bottom 10 for 10 weeks"... repeated 30 times...
