Yeah if I could have sorted that then I would have produced;

20 TOP POSTERS
58 Joe Bloggs
44 Jim Bloggs
22 Sam Bloggs
15 Sue Bloggs

20 TOP SUBJECT
18 Mobile Phones
15 Ubantu
1  Fedora Core :-0

ALL MAIL CLIENTS
1 KMail 1...
1 Mozilla 5.....
2 Evolution ......

This would then be correct as Joe uses KMail Jim uses Mozilla and Sam & Sue 
use Evolution. I did think about listing the ISP used but I'm sure the more 
paranoid wouldn't be happy about that although info wise it would give a very 
rough idea of the most popular ISP.

There is of course one other bit of info that would be fun, OPERATING SYSTEM 
USED but that would require members to log that within the header and again I 
don't think people would do it or be happy if that was a requirement of 
membership.

Maybe Jono or some other cleaver thing could put a web survey form up on the 
forum site to get an overview of who's using what then me old mate Sparkes 
can say "See I told you Debian was more popular" if I remember right 
membership is over a 100 people now so thats a healthy user group to survey 
-- purely interest no ulterior motives.
