Hello Kit, I just had a lively debate with one of my colleagues
regarding the SSC activities. One of us is convinced that some of the
modules have been downloaded with the intent of making them appear
more popular. OUTREG2 and ESTOUT particularly look suspicious. What is
going on here?
I wouldn't expect that at all, at least not for those 2
packages. Both are enormously popular and can be used by almost
anybody regardless of substantive field. Further, both get fairly
regular updates which means anybody using adoupdate is going to keep
downloading them over and over.
Now, if my gologit2 program suddenly started cracking the top 5, then
you'd have reason to be suspicious. :)
