Subject: soc.religion.bahai arbitron statistics

I thought readers might be interested in the newsgroup statistics for this
newsgroup (for the month of November) and by comparison to some other
religious oriented newsgroups. Please keep in mind that because of the
rapid growth of the Internet and UseNet based sites, an accurate picture
isn't really possible. This arbitron data is one way to get a relative
ranking of estimated readership and traffic. soc.religion.bahai is also read
by subscribers to a mailing list in addition to those on this newsgroup

Hope you find this useful.
