Sorry, it's not 2 weeks.  It's 10 weeks, based on the headers on the 
server.

There is one message from week 34 last year, and then:

Things seemed to slow down over the holidays (not surprising).

A few other interesting stats:

Of the newsreaders that report a user-agent, Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 was used 
the most frequently (893 out of 3896 posts).  1363 posts have no user-
agent information.

far can you go spotting goofs in movies?" got 110.
