    What's this TOP1000 thing ?
    The "TOP 1000 Usenet servers" aims to reflect the logical behaviour of article flows inside Usenet. To achieve this, a number (350 as of 2006)
    of participants send me the statistics computed on their servers.

    So you can just send them your own statistics? How cool is that. I
    wonder if my bank will let me decide how much money is in my account.
    Anyone see "The Invention of Lying" yet?

    If you would follow what they actually do then you would know that they
    compute stats based on the X-PATH header info of each message, if 350
    servers participate then they will pretty much gather 99% of all
    newsgroup traffic.
