I found some interesting statistic about Usenet traffic rates.  The
following are excerpts from _TOP 40 NEWSGROUPS IN ORDER BY TRAFFIC
VOLUME_ created by Brian Reid at DEC Western Research Laboratory.

                             Msg Volume      Msg Traffic
Rank  Newsgroup            (Mbytes/month)  (messages/month)
 1    soc.culture.china         3.95             1521
 5    comp.sys.amiga            3.10             1605
 9    comp.sys.mac              2.41             1587
15    comp.sys.ibm.pc           2.00             1321
18    comp.sys.atari.st         1.74              825
21    comp.sys.apple            1.66             1076

And I wondered why I was having trouble keeping up-to-date with this
newsgroup!  Drawing conclusions from this data is left as an exercise
for the reader.
