This is an interesting sign of the times.  We have about 1,100 posts
using linux and/or free clients, and a mere 100 or so using proprietary
clients.

How the world has changed!

I see some definite trends here. Microsoft Entourage is insignificant at 1 to 22. Slrn gain is greatest at 80 to 250 or 213% up. Outlook Express has dropped significantly from 538 to 52, down 90%.

Posting has dropped down overall, nearly 60%. That tells me that Linux is gaining every day, advocacy is slowly becoming less of a need. This is going to become a lonely city for the trolls.
