John,

That's all groups (at least it is on Debra's site), not just programming
group.

Auric,

No need to do a manual count. There are at least two sites where
that information is already compiled.

or click on the Newsgroup Statistics link on Tushar's site:

Anyway, this is great resource.

If you just count sheer numbers of posts, there's actually 14 (or 13). I
did a quick count of posts that I could retrieve from the server. Here's
everyone with at least 100 posts in that time (47 days):

Tom Ogilvy 1627 (that's not a typo - one thousand six hundred plus)
Chip Pearson 347
Ron de Bruin 280
Don Guillett 264
Dave Peterson 249
steve 231 (probably more than one person)
Bob Phillips 195
J.E. McGimpsey 142
Harald Staff 129
Dick Kusleika 120
Todd Huttenstine 116 (yes, you're on the list)
Vasant Nanavati 104
Bernie Deitrick 103
keepitcool 100

Compare with me: 18 posts (including this one) and among the people I
know, I'm the "answer person". I just hope that these people get paid
for it.
