   Same as  comp.lang.c  as has been mentioned elsewhere   
   (  for example). Good. I   
   wonder how that works. Was some algorithm at googlegroups triggered and   
   automatically took the measure (or notified a human) or do they have some   
   employee at Google regularly take a few minutes of their time once per   
   several weeks to have a short look at googlegroups to see how things are   
   working ? I will guess the latter because an algorithm would have acted much   
   sooner.
