TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I surveyed a random 24 hour sample of Techwr-l to see how limiting the
number of posts/user would impact list traffic. A summary of list traffic
savings (based on 1/2/3/4/5 posts/day) and the sampling data are found
below. It would be interesting to see if a 7 day period would yield the same
results.
Here is what I found:
Summary: 128 messages total
1 post/day limit - reduced total message count by 80 (63% reduction)
2 post/day limit - reduced total message count by 47 (37% reduction)
3 post/day limit - reduced total message count by 32 (25% reduction)
4 post/day limit - reduced total message count by 23 (18% reduction)
5 post/day limit - reduced total message count by 17 (13% reduction)
