Okay, guys, here's some stats.  I'm stat crazy.

I beat out Smashing Pumpkins, but not Enya or NYPDB.  Propagation still
sucks.  If you don't get the group, ask your admin to carry it.  Cross-
posting is at a lowly 2%, and at a lowly $0.02 per day per reader, your
money has never done more for such a worthy cause.

Please, open your hearts.  Tell a friend.  Tell your admin.  TELL THE WORLD!
