   IF ... somebody didn't like being high up on a list of top   
   posters in a specific newsgroup, the solution is simple...   
   post less. People don't have to actually leave though!   
   That's just overkill.   
      
   However, the more you travel around the Usenet Universe   
   the more you will come across newsgroups where Yads has   
   driven people away... for a variety of reasons. It just   
   seems to happen naturally.
