Question:
Hokay, hir ve go … The top ten contestants are: 042 129 misc.activism.progressive 107 099 misc.progressive.clearinghouse 027 097 misc.activism.left 017 096 misc.activism.activ-l 033 095 misc.activism.pach 109 091 misc.progressive.general 156 091 soc.activism.progressive 138 084 soc.activism.activ-l 066 074 misc.org.activ-l 067 073 misc.org.pach As with Peter’s submission, the first column is the number by which the suggested name will be identified in the mass-ack below, and the second column is the number of votes for that name. Following is the complete frequency table for the vote, in alpha order. Where wildchars were specified and matching names existed, I went ahead and merged the corresponding votes. (i.e. "talk.*" received 1 vote, so for each vote of that form, I incremented the tally by 1) I did not do this for the individual votes, so there will be some individual votes which don’t perfectly match any entries in the frequency table (although they’ve been accounted for properly in computing the frequencies). The same holds for misspellings and other anomalies like trailing periods. In cases where there isn’t a perfect match, the suggested name is printed out in full. (is that perfectly opaque?) One other thing: I equated /dev/null and its variations with no.group. 001 001 activism.ppesj 002 001 alt.activism.pach.pach.pach 003 001 alt.elections.scam.scam.scam 004 001 alt.flame.harelb 005 001

Well, in the academy awards they give the candidates first and then the winner. I think I’ll do it the other way around, mainly because you’d all get pissed off at me for teasing. And justly so… The winners, please! Well, the top 10. 058 129 misc.activism.progressive 038 102 misc.activism.left 146 99 misc.progressive.general 144 98 misc.progressive.clearinghouse 198 96 soc.activism.progressive 023 96 misc.activism.activ-l 045 93 misc.activism.pach 174 83 soc.activism.activ-l 186 76 soc.activism.left What’s that first number? That’s the ID number. To cut the size of this posting I’m posting the individual results like this: 104 023 024 037 047 061 016 The user ID, and then on the next line the votes from that user. Some users had extremely complex votes, and for two users I had to write a little TCL program to generat them. Something like: foreach i {soc misc} { foreach j {activism ecopax peace} { foreach j {progressive general} { print $i.$j.$kn } } }
To satisfy news transport methods that frown on very long lines, I’ve hand-edited some of the lines to fit in 80 columns. OK, the candidates, with their ID, count, and name. Then the voters and the IDs of the candidates they voted for. The candidates are in alphabetical order, the voters in order of receipt. Some of the late votes got very strange… apparently Harel decided to encourage people to vote for groups less than 14 character long total, and some of them got confused and voted for things like "ecopax". I couldn’t quite figure out what to do with them so counted them straight. I don’t think that’s what Harel intended but he declined to respond to my mail on the subject… 001 8 /dev/null 002 15 NO GROUP 003 1 activism.ppesj 004 1 alt.activism.pach.pach.pach 005 1 alt.dev.null
