I have. I have collected everything on soc.culture.europe for almost
a year now, and have written a program to produce very detailed statistics.
(Time of the day and volume posted, hour by hour, proportion of
posts by topic, number, and length. Some weeks Mutlu/Argic posted
half a megabyte, accounting for 70% and more of the total traffic).
I used to post the weekly statistics on soc.culture.europe under the
title "Weekly Mutlu Index", preceded with zany editorials when I 
was in the mood. I still save everything off soc.culture.europe,
but haven't run and produced any Mutlu Index for about three months
(getting a bit boring, it is). I have saved all the past data, and
issues of the Weekly Mutlu index on a streaming tape. You're all
welcome to the whole sorry lot.
