I took off my music geek hat and put on my computer geek hat and
wrote the following program in Cygwin:
$ awk '/^From:/ {from[$0]++}
END {for (person in from)
print from[person] " " person}' julyld.txt | sort -nr
From this program here are the posters who emailed Looper's Delight
10 or more times in July in descending order. The first number is
the number of times they posted this month based on the raw archive:

What's my point? The first point depends on whether you think
frequent posting is a good thing or bad thing--it also depends on
whether you think the top ten folks post about looping or not. The
second point is how ridiculously easy it is for spammers to harvest
email addresses from the LD archives. The third point is that data
is always good. ;-)
