Hello!
There has been over year from last time I posted some maps. So I think
some update is nice.
This time I used 90 days worth of posts from all groups from my server,
so 12. august to 10. november.
The map includes "news.mozilla.org" which has died some time ago (officially!!).
Done with neato from Graphviz. This time cleanup was surprisingly easy,
-aI found only few patterns, that needed aggregation. Those were IP or
some hash based, probably client identifiers.
Lastly, those graphs are pretty messy and hard to read. I tried
different filters, but for that amount data Graphviz don't seem good

CmapTools has a great auto-layout generator. You can set it to use
curvy splines instead of straight lines. I don't know if it can import
.dot files from graphviz.
DotToXML can be used to convert .dot files to GraphML for yEd graph editor.
Maybe one of these would be less onerous for generating prettier output.

I think that amount nodes and connecting lines are better presented in
3D. Little bit more space can help in 2D, but there is still lots of crossing lines.
Thanks for those suggestions!

Shouldn't subdomains appear as only one?-a For instance, there are (dhaller|sb|moses|binnsroad|disneywizard|backpage|snipe|...).eternal-september.org
all going to reader02.eternal-september.org.
Entries ending with ".POSTED" may be dropped too.
news.mozilla.org.POSTED adjacent to nntp.mozilla.org, news.earthlink.com.POSTED to nntp.earthlink.com, so they probably are
from different hosts.
