Pfoho, The Devil's Snare?

An e-mail chain on "Pf-OPEN" last night revealed some interesting statistics. It turns out that that the Pforzheimer House’s email list-serv has:

666 non-digested members

245 digested members

911 total members

Somebody call nine-one-one? We may have a devil on our hands.

These statistics were discovered by Yün-ke Chin-Lee ’10, who subsequently sent them out over the Pf-OPEN with the subject title “Somewhat disturbing Pfopen subscriber stats.”

Maybe that’s the reason behind Pfoho’s house spirit – it’s possessed?

According to another Pfoho resident, David I. Fulton-Howard ’10, these statistics could be found by clicking the web address at the bottom of every email sent out over the list.

“I think it’s coincidence,” said Fulton-Howard, who is also a Crimson IT editor. “I don’t think there’s been any devilish activity in Pfoho.”

It was also cited in the email chain that Pf-OPEN is the first active house list and currently the second largest list on the Harvard Computer Society servers.

“Because it’s an open list, people can just sign up and many old alumni decide to stay on using their Gmails,” Fulton-Howard said.
