Statistics for comp.databases.informix
Following is a summary of articles spanning a 30 day period, beginning at 01 Apr 2003 and ending at 30 Apr 2003 Notes ===== - A line in the body of a post is considered to be original if it does *not* match the regular expression /^\\s{0,3}(?:>|:|\\S+>|\\+\\+)/. - All text after the last cut line (/^-- $/) in the body is considered to be the author's signature. - The scanner prefers the Reply-To: header over the From: header in determining the "real" e-mail address and name. - Original Content Rating (OCR) is the ratio of the original content volume to the total body volume. NOTE If you reply to a 10 line question with a 2 line answer, then your conscience can remain be clear. Be honest with yourself. - Find the News-Scan distribution on the CPAN! <URL:http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/News/>; Please send all comments to Greg Bacon <gbacon@cs.uah.edu>. - Please do not send comments about the use of this software in your favourite newsgroup to Greg Bacon!
