For those readers of comp.sys.amiga who do not read news.groups ---
Brian Reid just posted his monthly USENET usage summary, and, guess what?
Comp.sys.amiga is climbing to the top, both in volume and popularity.
Last months estimated readership was ~8500 (if I remember correctly),
this month's is 12000. (Yes, UP 40%!) New hosts must have started
getting our newsgroup --- Comp.sys.amiga also appears in the top 40 list
of newsgroups with high propagation ratio (97% for comp.sys.amiga). Last
month it wasn't on that list. Comp.sys.amiga is also the newsgroup 
with the highest volume --- Apparently 3 Megs have been posted to
comp.sys.amiga during May, at a cost of $1.20 per reader. 6.3% of news
readers read comp.sys.amiga.

[For comparision, 7900 people read comp.sys.atari.st, 15000 people
 read comp.sys.mac, and 22000 people read comp.sys.ibm.pc.]
