Select the "Year" button in the Time Period box top-left.

Seems like there's less activity on AFL than last year and the number of
people active has dropped by a third. Of course, it's only statistics and
therefore probably all a pack of lies... ;-)

It's all right, they're not spying on you. Bill said so. But ..... scroll
down to the list of posters and click on "Profile" next to the posters name
and you can see all the other newsgroups that the poster uses.

Beware that if someone replies to a spam then their reply can end up
in groups like alt.****-me-in-the-arse-with-a-half-shaft or other such
hedonistic delights. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

<don't bother checking, you'll be disappointed!>

I'm surprised I got to number 7, especially as I've not posted on
topic since 2001...

Shhhhhhhhhh! I sussed that out too. Luckily, it seems that no-one has too
much to hide, although Lara Croft seems popular! Must be the Tomb

I nearly fell off my chair when I clocked my profiled groups, I guess I've
replied to a cross posted message somewhere. Took a few moments of WTF????
to work out that one.

fuggerit, you just got me wasting half an hour reading stuff I wrote in
about 1990.

interestingly, the above-mentioned thing won't find the identity I used then
(ans0@aber.ac.uk) and google groups, I'm fairly sure, doesn't find
everything I posted then either.

Good idea - first second and third prizes, with a set of rivnuts from our
sponsors (theng yew, theng yew, big hand for Beamends Spares) for the
winner. I like it.

Might do better than that.........don't get too excited though!

P.S. Anyone need an STC2778 38a ABS Booster to WA410481 with
Traction Control - brand new Wabco - at a *very* good price?

P.P.S Thinking about some sort of a.f.l deal, what would the
groups feeling be about the following. I'm in the process of
putting an offer together on the web site that involves getting
a free 1:18 de-cast model if you spend enough - what would
be the reation to making the offer available to a.l.f readers
first - or would that be too blatant?
