You are the first. >How do you do them ? I run Debian Linux and have a local news server on my PC called "Leafnode", which fetches news from two soures, my own ISP and another free newsserver. Leafnode then serves the newsgroups to both my Wife's PC and mine. I then run "Statnews" on my Leafnode news spool, and it produces the list I posted on this newsgroup. I an do it for any newsgroups I have on my Newserver, which is only about 10 atm. > >.. And if you already do them, you must have some service monitoring the group Well I have all posts to this group going bak about one month, as Leafnode is setup to delete posts over one month to save hard disk space. >and if so I have an idea. >I have seen that the danish perl discussion group monitor the group for new >posters and when a newbie posts in the group they are automaticly sent the FAQ . To their email address or the group ? >.and then added to the list of known posters so you only see this welcome >message once. > >I would be a nice feature if new posters here would recieve the mini-faq as a >welcome. It could be done for sure, espially by Perl programmers! My programming skills and available time dont allow me to write such an app however. > >And as already started by Timofei someone should calculate the ascii-art to text >ratio. It would be on this group, but would take a few ideas and a apable programmer. >It would also be nice to see the signature to messagebody ratio. True.
