Newcomer newsgroups top-15

Yesterday Wayne wanted to know who posted the most on the eclipse.newcomer newsgroup in the last year. After razzling-and-dazzling him with my Linux one-liner prowess, I came up with these results:

Top-15 active people on eclipse.newcomer:

6. Krzysztof Daniel
7. Ian Bull
8. Jakub Jurkiewicz

29. Me

Those guys rock and are definitely under appreciated. Thanks!

Oh, and here is the one-liner in question:

for i in $(seq 13830 21829); do egrep “^From:” $i | awk ‘{print $2 $3}’; done | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -n20

Having put more thought into it, I realize I could have done the same thing using only awk. It certainly rivals vi and emacs for “Best Operating System” award.
