Interesting coincidence.
Counting only my Best account, I have the exact same statistics.

But one account of mine on another provider, which has obviously
been sold on some list (despite having been used to post *only*
*one* *post* *ever*) hasn't seen a single week with less than fifty
for several months.

And the accounts of mine that are listed in 'whois' database records
get 2-3 per week as well.

My six year old Netcom account probably hasn't seen a day with
less than eight for almost a year, but all I do there is log
the from address and throw it all away.  Soon, it will probably
all be forwarded to a spam-recognizing service, instead.
