It occurred to me that WHAT was posted on the list in March might be just as
interesting as the HOW MANY.

First, of the 912 postings for March, 2007, I identified 283 threads as
being unique.
(I have edited the thread titles somewhat for spelling differences and could
have merged some posts with somewhat different topics (but unintentionally
and with a VERY low probability of actually doing so :-).

The threads with 10 or more postings were:
     Subject                                         Total
T&T: Venice Water Cop                                 57

The rest of the topics had 9 or less postings.

The breakdown of the remaining threads is as follows:
  Number of            Number of
posts in thread      unique threads
      9                    4
      8	               4
      7                    7
      6                    4
      5                   13
      4                   13
      3                   31
      2                   54
      1                  135

In other words, there were 135 posts which were not responded to.
There were 54 posts to which there was one reply, 31 for which there were 3
replies, etc.

It is interesting to compare those posts which are seeking information with
those of a more theoretical nature.

YMMV
