    There are a *lot* of messages that aren't accounted for in this table. I suppose it's vaguely on-topic here to ask: are these statistics only looking
    at the X-Newsreader header and not User-Agent? Are there semantic
    differences between the two? Or is this just an oversight in how these statistics are being collected?

    It would appear so.

    Are there semantic differences between the two?

    A little personal story. Since sometime early 2003, I've configured trn
    to identify itself in headers as

    User-Agent: Vectrex rn 2.1 (beta)

    Prior to that, it was "X-Newsreader: Sony Playstation 5.0MIPS". I recall changing when I saw some official or semi-official document which
    specfied "User-Agent" as the preferred header for identifying the news
    reader software. I see the rare occaisional post where news readers used
    are summarized. I'm always an oddball in those.

    I don't have any saved posts for this group before 2006 handy, so I
    can't say what I read in 2003 to convert me to the non-X header. And
    because web browsers also use that header, finding references with
    search engines is difficult.


    Or is this just an oversight in how these statistics are being
    collected?

    I think these stats are at best entertainment and at worst spam.

    I've seen your User-Agent header many times but to be honest, I never knew
    what a Vectrex was until I looked it up just now. I can't believe you
    compose all of your posts on that little controller! ;)
