I like your stats, particulary this part. I'm always surprised how
many people use MS to post to a linux group ;-)

Also, many people post here with something along the lines of "help...I
can't setup internet access under Linux". They're probably forced to
use MS software, too.

Thx! Put in some work lately to add "user" counting. The script needs
about 20 sec. more now per ng. But I always wanted to have this "feature"
someone asked for, maybe a year ago.
So if someone has a really good idea, I'll try to implement it.
Just be aware it may take some time.
Ack.
Ack, and there were just 11.7% using M$ Outlook, not that bad. Take a
look at the recent stats in coln or aol.

Bad excuse! You should have /personal/ mail accounts. The mail could
be downloaded by uucp or pop3 (using fetchmail), and then distributed
to local mailboxes at the linux box, which the windows computer then
would turn to.
If you have only one computer, then vmware, bochs, wine or something
similar might be used.

A bit misleading - I doubt if I'm the only person using Agent on linux
under wine. It works just fine and it may be the best mail and news
client I've seen. And please don't tell me "then you havn't seen

What's misleading about it? It just counts which newsreader is used
by how many people, how many times. Nothing more, there's not a single
word about any OS...
Haven't used Agent, tin works great for me...

I doubt you can even find it. Coz Mike's script looks only for 'forte'
in 'X-Newsreader' header, so it really doesn't matter whether you run it
on Wine or Linux or Windows or Mac.
Maybe you don't know what you miss ;-).
No. Your's already does. See from your post:

Michael, I wasn't replying to you. I meant my response for the person
who commented about using MS to post to a linux group.
