The rarely noticed things Google Groups can do for

Hidden in the "My Profile" section was a list by
newsgroups of how many postings it had seen me make
in each newsgroup.

I've seen it before, after all Google is *for* searches to most
people. But how did you get it into text format? I got it as
a pulldown menu so I couldn't put it in a cut-n-paste buffer
to put it into a text editor. While my list is interesting
(RGRN is 3rd and my first work oriented one is 4th), it does
follow the pattern of having a lot of groups I must have
cross posted to without even noticing. There were even a
few to talk.bizzare that had to be accidentally untrimmed
responses to you on RGRN.

Quite probably this list also misses all of my
postings from accounts other than my xanthian
account at well.com, a huge lossage comprising
thousands of more postings.

It definitely does not list prior accounts. I switched
to my current yahoo one in 2001 after a bunch of ISP
changes. It goes by posting account not posting
server as at the time I used Earthlink or Road Runner
not Google's web interface.

Since my top traffic group is alt.religion.asatru, it would
seem I'm more active in "church" than you. Chuckle.

One of the joys of entrapment crossposting
demonstrated here is that I've never even _seen the
names_ of _most_ of these newsgroups before just
now.

Yet you cross post and are therefore guilty of it.
