Also not that this simple method does not see the difference between different aliases of the same person. For example, christopher.chan at <a href="http://bradbury.edu.hk" target="_blank">bradbury.edu.hk</a> (Christopher Chan) is also christopher.chan at <a href="http://bradbury.edu.hk" target="_blank">bradbury.edu.hk</a> (Chan Chung Hang Christopher) so he has 21 + 17 = 38 posts, which would put him in the 11th position. We can also see that NoOp is the undisputed king of this mailinglist. That is, if you look at quantity, not quality. ;-) -- Amedee Van Gasse <div><div></div><div class="h5"> -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> -- TopBot.
