He doesn't mind my stuff. I have hacked up on the client end of nntp to send ``USER igb'' or whatever at the beginning of a session and modifed nntpd to write records of the form ``igb comp.sources.unix 725434367'' (where the number is the return from time()). I then compact this down overnight so I have a list of the latest times for each user on each group. This is then read and an arbitron emitted once a month. All my own code, and I'm in the stats... ian
