The number of messages on PEP 308 has risen to almost 500:
$ egrep "^Subject: .* (PEP 308|Defending the)" python-list\@python.org | wc -l
    487

Yesterday, in total 550 messages were posted to the group:
$ grep "^Date:.*Sat" python-list\@python.org | wc -l
    550

Last week, 492 uniq posters posted to the group:
$ grep "^From: " python-list\@python.org  | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | wc -l
    492

Of these, 264 posters posted more than once, 140 more than three times:
$ grep "^From: " python-list\@python.org  | sort | uniq -c | grep -vw 1 | sort -n | wc -l
    264
$ grep "^From: " python-list\@python.org  | sort | uniq -c | egrep -vw '([1-2])' | sort -n | wc -l
    183
$ grep "^From: " python-list\@python.org  | sort | uniq -c | egrep -vw '([1-3])' | sort -n | wc -l
    140
$ grep "^From: " python-list\@python.org  | sort | uniq -c | egrep -vw '([1-4])' | sort -n | wc -l
    109
$ grep "^From: " python-list\@python.org  | sort | uniq -c | egrep -vw '([1-5])' | sort -n | wc -l
     89

Maybe splitting c.l.py _is_ a good idea, although I doubt .ternary would
be the best choice ;). Of course, this has been discussed before and in
the end, nobody will be going to take the time to do the required job, but
possible options are:

	* c.l.py.help
	* c.l.py.future
	* c.l.py.library
	* c.l.py.language
	* c.l.py.misc
	* c.l.py.advocacy
	* c.l.py.gui
	* c.l.py.platform-dependant
	* c.l.py.moderated

...becasue 500 messages a day _can_ be splitted ;)

yours,
Gerrit.
