In previous years, I've tried to assist SAS-L in deciding who to nominate
for SASLROY by showing which newbees were the most frequent posters. But,
as Ian so correctly pointed out last year, the SAS-L Rookie of the Year
award (SAS El Roy) "recognizes the person new to SAS-L making the most
significant contribution to the discussions of the group."

As such, this year, I'm posting instructions on how to easily get a
refresher regarding which newbees posted what last year.
By sending the following email, the listserv will send you an email
containing the subjects lines of the earliest (up to) 100 posts sent by
those newbees who had at least 20 SAS-L posts in 2009. Of course, there
is no minimum posting requirement for the SASLROY award but, rather, on
the time I have available to assist in this endeavor. If you think
someone not included should also be considered by all means nominate them.

The email you will receive from the listserv will also provide the command
to email if you want to retrieve all of any individual's posts.

To: listserv(a)listserv.uga.edu
Subject: Newbee Search

with the following lines, and nothing else, in the body of the email:

One correction has been brought to my attention: Mark Miller (i.e.,
MDHMILLER_at_gmail_dot_com) is DEFINITELY not a newbee. He's been posting
on SAS-L since 1992 and was inadvertently captured by my admittedly not
foolproof code as his last post, before 2009, was in 2004.

Art, so that would make Mark a renewbee.


All, best of luck in all of your SAS endeavors!
