You're welcome.

not that you care, but here's my acad drawing of how the fence/columns/gate was supposed to look.
Anyway, this will give you a better idea of why I got up so early. LOL

Oh, the drawing looks nice. Although it also looks like a hell of a lot of work... Good luck with that!
Alex.

I had a reason for suggesting MS Access. Just import the XML straight into MS access, and it will do most of the rest of the work for you.

John, I have never used "Access" I opened it, played around a bit, couldn't seem to get it to work. It appears I need to dedicate more time to learning what it is and does.

thanks though.

Well, thanks to Alexander W. Janssen for providing me the rest of the dump file, I have added groups 4 and 5 to the previous three and created a new spreadsheet. The % of posters has dropped from the last one, as it seems the earliest group were a chatty bunch(9% of the group) which offset the other groups which ranged from .6 to 2.7%. I've broken down the groups for analysis as to users and posts. All the interesting (possibly) stuff is at the bottom. The userid groups were chosen to be in 250 blocks, and userid selection started at 10K and jumped 20K for each new group (actually 19,750). One other thing I noticed was the number of still active users in the most recent group was quite high in comparison. I wonder why users seem to drop off after the first month or two?

Just a side note... ever thought of asking the people your using in your "stats" for their autorisation to do so ? Even though most people allow "you" to see their computers, that doesn't mean they allow you to post their stats on the fora ....

He Tony,
why don't you just export the data as a HTML-table instead of making screenshots? That would save you a lot of work and us some bandwidth... ;-)
Have a nice weekend,
Alex.

Hi Cruncher,
those stats are already publicly available. Tony just brought them into a nice shape. If you go to your account-page you'll see a section "Cross-project statistics". Those are sites which use those stats as well. The raw data can be fetched on the rosetta-site as well. I just created a program which translated the XML-data to CSV; Tony imported that into Excel.

If you don't want your stats to be publicly available, well... That's something you have to ask the individual projects or even the BOINC-team.

Have a nice weekend,
Alex.

P.S.: In general you are right in that sense that the user should have an option like that, i agree with you. However, no one can expect Tony to ask all users if they're fine with that.

Those stats bear up the 1% rule..

"
It's an emerging rule of thumb that suggests that if you get a group of 100 people
online then one will create content, 10 will "interact" with it (commenting or
offering improvements) and the other 89 will just view it.
