WEEKLY WHINE

About what do I Whine?

It's been said that the three main thrusts of this site are space, sport, and math. But it's now time to find out how true that really is. I've catalogued the topics of each Weekly Whine available on this site, and the results are presented now.

	Space	30
	Computers	17
	Sport	15
	Mathematics	15
	Propaganda	12
	Politics	06
	Random	29

Remember, this doesn't sum to the total number of Weekly Whines, as some of them were placed into two categories.

Clearly space is indeed the dominant part of this site. This is actually quite interesting when one notes that the first year of GoobNet contained no space related Whines. Further down the list, though, there are stretches of three or even four space Whines in a row.

The next most common topic, surprisingly, was computers. Granted, the decision as to what Whines are or are not about computers was a bit liberal [like "Get Your Buttons Here!"], but it was still odd to see a topic not generally considered GoobNet's power so high on the list.

Another surprise was the distance down at which propaganda registered. For the purposes of this study, propaganda is any editorial or article with the purpose of expressing a judgment [such as "For the Abolishment of Red"]. This reassures us that the site is not a source of violent opinions and instead is primarily an information provider.
