being hopelessly dubitable of measuring such things, I must ask, what did you use to measure it, how did you measure it, and what is your theory of information and level of information by which you constructed your measurements? ;) after that, what does it all mean, not just a summary and conclusion, but what does it mean to measure it as you have? :) what are the goals and intentions of revealing such information, what does it tell us, and what is it supposed to tell us? have you seen the word count analysis of "axis of evil" being thrown around the net yet?

Being a hopelessly bound to quantitative measurements, I just calculated the amount of duplicated (quoted or redundant posts) information in the last Air-l digest: 46.8%.

Interpretations will probably vary according to "half-full"/"half-empty" perspectives.
