    I think there's something wrong with whatever you're using to come up
    with these stats. I don't post often, but I knew I had definitely
    posted more than once in the last year. So I went back and counted
    and found a dozen posts I sent to rec.arts.sf.written in 2024.

    Yeah, spot-checking my own and a few others, the numbers in the original >>>post line up closely with an aggregate tally for Sept-Dec.

    Perhaps the earlier months have been deleted from its database. Or >>something like that.

    I think that, if you are going to post these at all, and we find
    reason to believe that the data is wrong, /you/ are the one who should
    do the checking.

    If only out of pride in your work.

    This is the only oddity as other groups turned up correctly.

    I am using a An Asus X555 on MesNEws.

    I wonder if the CPU was overloaded.

    That is certainly my take on it. It seemed obvious.

    I'm wondering if all the "uncounted" messages (like my missing 11
    posts and those of other people whose totals look suspiciously low)
    got lumped together into that #1 no-name entry at the top.

    If you add up all the numbers of posts by named posters, the total
    only comes out to 3,038, not 6,002.

    If the post total was really 3,038, that works out to an average of
    just over 8 posts a day, which seems low. If you add 6,002 to the
    3,038, that give an average of around 25 posts a day, which seems like
    a more reasonable number.

    So I'm going with that nameless first line as being the total of all
    the "unclaimed" posts.

    Yeah, I'm a bored computer programmer on vacataion, how could you
    tell?

    Could be the CPU just could not handle such a large input.

    Well, that's what you get when you try to do this stuff on an 8008
    with scant memory and no hard drive.

    Alternately, we could always blame Linux ...

    Yet AMD 64-bit CPUs...

    You can blame GNUlinux for my postings but not much else.
    If CBM had remained in business you could blame AmigaOS.

    I think there's something wrong with whatever you're using to come up
    with these stats. I don't post often, but I knew I had definitely
    posted more than once in the last year. So I went back and counted
    and found a dozen posts I sent to rec.arts.sf.written in 2024.

    This is a very good question! Until he announces himself, I will continue

    I found and retrieved the original post. I just deleted the filter
    that prevented it from being downloaded. I really should trim those
    some day ...

    Bice has pointed out that his message count for the year has been
    reduced from 12 to 1. So perhaps this is actually a for 1_2_/1/24
    through 12/31/24.

    Then again, perhaps not:

    ***** Days with most messages *****
    num| date | Nb Msg | size | or. | % ----|------------|--------|---------|-----|------------------|
    1 | 11/11/2024 | 72 | 189,461 | 5 | 0.80% xxxxxxxxxx
    2 | 9/21/2024 | 63 | 206,149 | 4 | 0.70% xxxxxxxx
    3 | 8/22/2024 | 62 | 245,560 | 2 | 0.69% xxxxxxxx
    4 | 2/14/2024 | 61 | 167,820 | 2 | 0.68% xxxxxxxx

    certainly looks like it covers the entire year here.

    I found this interesting bit:

    ***** Users with highest total size of messages *****
    num| Name | size | Nb Msg | or. | % ----|-----------------------------|------------|--------|-----|------------------|

    Huh. Perhaps I need to do more snipping ...

    intended to show where the actual list begins?
