<< Message Gone: 2778>>

Can you get a rough number on messages gone that were later referenced in other posts?

Seems to me that when I first joined, Yahoo would dump nearly any message that had a URL and I know a bunch of good stuff disappeared into the ether.

Would be curious to know how many of those vs. the spam messages are represented in that number.

What about posts/month?

Posts/day cross-referenced with intraday high and low and/or volume?

Of those 2778 missing messages,
1745 are from messages 1 - 9999.
309 are from 10000 to 19999
228 are from 20000 to 29999
282 are from 30000 to 39999
96 are from 40000 to 49999
73 are from 50000 to 59999
45 are from 60000 to present

Either Yahoo eased up on what it deleted or people began to learn how to bypass the filters.

These stats are a rough first pass at trying to extract some usefull information from my data. They are just simple command line tools piped together. Better stats will have to wait until I have a chance to write some perl to do the calculations.
