Hello There

I'm writing sometheing about the D programming language and I say the  D 
community is still growing and growing and to proof it I refer to the 
increasing number of posts on the newsgroups. But it's not that I actually 
know "in numbers" that it is really growing ... Is there somewhere a survey 
of the number of posts on the newsgroups? So I can proof it with real data 
;-)

Thanks

Ben hinkle's pages had a graph.  If you could get a hold of him, maybe 
he could share with you the code he used to generate the graphs.

since it does give an idea of the amount of time people are spending on 
D.  Both numbers are useful for getting a picture I think.
