Hallo Mithgol,

 AW>>>> year    day    date          entries
 AW>>>> '1995', '328', '1995-11-24', 39827

 MW> What was the tool that counted entries? I tried ColdNode+

 MW> * Compiling nodelists:
 MW> * \--nodelist.328    Nodes read: 39190  Total read: 39190

I counted all entries with an appropriate sql statement from my database:
select year, day, date, count(id_nl_entry)
from nodelist join nl_entry using (id_nodelist)
group by year, day, date
order by count(id_nl_entry) desc

GoldNode seems to count only the "Node" entries (I counted all non-comment
entries including Zone, Region, Host, etc.)
Let's try... the query that selects only nodes gives us this:

select year, day, date, count(id_nl_entry)
from nodelist join nl_entry using (id_nodelist) join nl_line using (id_nl_line)
join nl_node using (id_nl_node)
where keyword='Node'
group by year, day, date
order by count(id_nl_entry) desc

year    day    date          entries
'1995', '328', '1995-11-24', 37086
'1995', '349', '1995-12-15', 37058
'1995', '342', '1995-12-08', 37032
'1995', '321', '1995-11-17', 37019
'1995', '356', '1995-12-22', 37019

Thats much less. Well, then GoldNode counts some of the admin nodes also.

 MW> For sanity check, the nodelist header itself is

 MW> ;A FidoNet Nodelist for Friday, November 24, 1995 -- Day number 328 :
 MW> 41103

No, that is not the list I used. My list has this crc info:
;A FidoNet Nodelist for Friday, November 24, 1995 -- Day number 328 : 17733

You have perhaps a nodelist generated by Z1C or by another ZC. My nodelists are
almost all generated by Z2C. You can see which ZC generated it by looking at
the first zone listed.

 MW> So there is no site with nodelist statistics, is there?

I have not found any. But I have not searched very thoroughly. Most sites with 
nodelist databases let us look for sysops, nodes and other nodelist entry data.
But no aggregated or statistical data, unfortunately not.

Tschau
Alex
