    <p>Hi Corinne (and all),<br>
    </p>
    Most of my answers above should be read 'in principle', in the sense
    not all of them can be answered straightforwardly with existing
    notebooks, but it would be easy to create an ad hoc one / amend the
    existing ones<br>

    not sure what do you mean with average here: across mailing lists?
    average as in per day? per user? all these can be implemented for

    i'm also not sure here: do you mean the user you sent more emails
    within a thread? or the thread with the most replies?<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    Anyway, this points to an issue that we somehow overlooked: we miss
    a 'descriptive statistics' notebook / collection in the examples.
    There was something in the SummerSchool collection but might be
    broken and somehow fell out in the gardening (my fault!). How urgent
    is this? I would be happy to work on it, but this and next week are
    pretty packed.<br>

    Cheers,<br>
