    So I've created a script which helps me at least somewhat figure out

    Thanks, this looks worthwhile. I had wondered about trying to devise
    some quality index for groups which I could add to my page at https://newsgrouper.org/tops but you seem to have done a comprehensive
    job of this. Could I add your results there? Also do you intend to
    repeat the analysis to track changes?

    Even so 'a lot' of that traffic will be long-running disputes/flamewars
    with no added value.
