"Back in the old days" the BEE-L listserv software allowed us members to
send a REVIEW BEE-L command to the server, which would then send back a file
with the names of all of the people subscribed to the list.  Once spamming
came to the fore, this was disabled for pretty obvious reasons...

I'm preparing to do a quantitative analysis on the 13 years, 89,000
postings, occupying just over 90Mb of BEE-L for a research project.
Initially, I intend to simply investigate trends in the posting of messages
- particularly relating to domain of origin.

To help me in this, I'd really appreciate any of you out there who used to
use the REVIEW BEE-L command, and who may have saved the output files, to
forward a copy to me.  Be sure to send it direct to me at
[log in to unmask] rather than to the list...

I'm hoping that if I can get enough copies, spanning enough of a time
period, I can provide some more analysis of the data based on membership of
the list, as well as the messages posted.

I'd be happy to email with anyone one-on-one who has questions about
what/how/why (well, I gotta do a research project for my master's degree,
don't I?) I'm doing this...
