Following is a summary of articles spanning a 7 day period,
beginning at 12 Jun 2005 06:54:41 GMT and ending at
19 Jun 2005 06:51:42 GMT.
Notes
=====
- A line in the body of a post is considered to be original if it
does *not* match the regular expression /^\s{0,3}(?:>|:|\S+>|\+\+|\|\s+|\*\s)/.
- All text after the last cut line (/^-- $/) in the body is
considered to be the author's signature.
- The scanner prefers the Reply-To: header over the From: header
in determining the "real" e-mail address and name.
- Original Content Rating is the ratio of the original content volume
to the total body volume.
- Please send all comments to Christopher Browne <········@acm.org>

The million dollar question to any good programmer being, What is the
bug leading to the multiple reports?
My pet theory is shot down by the "ending at" being an hour plus apart
while the arrival times at c.l.l are three minutes apart.

ps. aside to CB: no fair looking at the code.
