Posting Statistics - August 2003

Posting statistics are generated by Steve Schrader and posted towards
the beginning of each month. For the purposes of these statistics, GMT
is used to mark the beginning and end of the month. Statistics are based
on a post archive collected from a large number of newsservers on a
continuing basis.  Few (if any) non-spam posts are dropped by this
process.  Any comments concerning posting statistics should be made on
the newsgroup.

These stats are used to determine the regular status for members of arc-t.
If you are interested in becoming a regular, please check out the FAQ at -
http://arc-t.org/faq-regular.html - Any requests for regular status need
to be made within a week from the date that these stats are posted to the
newsgroup.
