About These statistics
----------------------

"top ten subjects by number of posts"
This is based on the total number of posts for a given subject line. 
All tags such as "Re:" and "[Sca-cooks]" are automatically stripped from
the subject line so they can be properly tallied.

"cookbooks most often referred to"
This is a simple count of the occurence of a given text.  The search is
case insensitive (capitalization does not matter).  Spelling however
does count.  The texts being checked for are as follows:

     "Harpestreng"
     "Koge Bog"
     "Forme of Cury"
     "Liber cure cocorum"
     "Two Fifteenth-Century"
     "Book of Nurture"
     "Good Housewife's Jewell"
     "Good Huswifes Handmaide"
     "Delights for Ladies"
     "NEVV BOOKE of Cookerie"
     "Proper newe Booke of Cokerye"
     "English Housewife"
     "Enseignements"
     "Viandier"
     "Vivendier"
     "Menagier"
     "Du fait"
     "Ouverture"
     "von guter Speise"
     "Eberhard"
     "Inntalkochbuch"
     "Rumpolt"
     "Welserin"
     "Liber de coquina"
     "Libro di cucina"
     "Wel ende edelike spijse"
     "Libre del Coch"

"top ten posters by number of posts"
A simple count of the number of messages sent from each email address. 
If a list member posts using more than one email address, each address
will be counted separately.

"top ten posters by message size"
Content here is the total number of letters for all the email messages
sent from an email address, ignoring text marked as quotes or as a
signature.

This script attempts to account for the most common ways email programs
mark text as being a comment or signature, but does not and can not
manage to catch them all.

"top ten posters by message size (non-quote)"
The quote ratio is the same as the sizecalculation above, but
subtracting the number letters in any quoted lines of text.  This means
that a poster who quotes lots of text and gives short answers may have a
negative score.

"Top Scoring Posters"
The score is calculated by adding the rank of individuals in the "top
ten" lists above (with 1 = 10, 2 = 9, etc...), adding 1 for each
appearance on the "longest words" list.  An extra 19 points is added to
the final number in order to prevent negative values from showing up on
the list (i.e. "swag").
