I was thinking about an extension to the STATS command and Statistics= header keyword: include a third parameter (of type "interval") to the Statistics= specification, as in Statistics= Extended,Private,Monthly Such a parameter would make LISTSERV to collect separate totals for each specified period of time (i.e., monthly), without losing any of its actual features. I think this would be useful to detect if a list has a growing number of contributions (making it convenient to find a new peer) or is close to extinction. What do you think about that? Jose M. Blasco
