To add statistics which may (or may not) be more relevant for the
discussion about which file formats are appropriate for this group, here
is the distribution of the 45 people who posted here recently:

Windows: 	38	84 %
    OE:		21	47 %
    Netscape:	14	31 %
    Forte:	 2	 4 %
    XNews:	 1	 2 %

Linux:		 3	 7 %
    Netscape:	 2	 4 %
    KNode:	 1	 2 %

Other Unix:	 2	 4 %
    tin:	 2	 4 %

Mac:		 2	 4 %
    Netscape:	 2	 4 %

This actually fits your statistics from TheCounter.com surprisingly
well.

The sample is rather small and includes quite a few people who have
posted only once, but I'd be confident in saying that 80-90% use some
kind of Windows, and the rest is widely dispersed.
