On the topic of self-selection, I would agree with Greg's assertion that
some sites won't run arbitron.  Usenet "site" apollo is actually about
1500 machines with 2000 users, about 200 of them news users.  The arbitron
script won't work here because of the diversity of machines, protections
on home directories, and people who shut down their node at night.  At one
time I was enough of a shell hacker to make it work, but I just don't have
the time or inclination for that stuff any more.
