The argument the RAILROAD owner has advanced for bit.* having better
propagation further falls apart when I examine the subscriptions of
nearly 1000 sites hanging off of us and see that the best propagated
bit.* group has fully 10% worse propagation than the least subscribed
rec.* groups, which in turn is still a few percent down from the
propagation of rec.railroad and misc.transport.  The arbitron stats,
which are influenced by being a self-selecting statistical measurement
of sites that chose to install the software (which is less than half
of the number of sites fed from here), also show that the best
propagated bit.* groups tend to do very poorly compared to the Big
Seven.
