More New Year participation frustration

Hi again

Back in the Xmas holidays Mike sent me a query about decreasing "diversity
of voices" on the XMCA, which made me do the 99 statistics a bit early, so
the last few days of Dec99 are still not included in this, as I'm just
snipping from what I sent Mike. I don't think I ever sent this over the
list (or my leaky memory deceives me).

This is the long run, first the distribution of messages by gender, and
then the distribution of contributors by gender:

      y88 y89 y90 y91 y92 y93 y94 y95 y96 y97 y98 y99
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fmess 78 125 160 344 397 400 561 714 1175 1108 939 828
Mmess 286 559 774 1373 1347 1342 1384 1520 2108 1997 1666 2031

   y88 y89 y90 y91 y92 y93 y94 y95 y96 y97 y98 y99
------------------------------------------------------------------------
F 22 38 41 72 88 101 109 113 118 139 84 79
M 56 70 89 140 166 166 141 152 155 200 113 96

And here's the distribution of messages averaged over contributors:

       Fmess/F Mmess/M
------------------------
y88 3,55 5,11
y89 3,29 7,99
y90 3,90 8,70
y91 4,78 9,81
y92 4,51 8,11
y93 3,96 8,08
y94 5,15 9,82
y95 6,32 10,00
y96 9,96 13,60
y97 7,97 9,99
y98 11,18 14,74
y99 10,48 21,16

As Mike had perceived a change "over the last few months" I also did 1999
by month:

Just some raw materiel.
