The groups were constructed from the subject line in the original message -
no attempt was made to see if the body of the message matched the title.

Some of the groupings are arbitrary - Montlake Fill being the most obvious -
this included sightings, stuff about loosestrife, etc.

Now for the meaningless statistics:

Percentage about birds (or on topic): 44%
Percentage on politics or conservation: 10%
Percentage on T-shirts, discounts: 20%

6 species in the top 20 - not bad
