As with most 'social' analyses, it's usually a good idea to look for a 
bit more than an entirely trivial numbers game, such as by trying to 
find some criterion that helps to distinguish amongst the appellants.

In this case, I think that a reasonable distinction could be made 
between real participants in the community, versus, ummmm... others. A 
plausible-if-simplistic criterion could be noting whether the appellant 
had authored at least one RFC.

As with most heuristics, it doesn't provide a guarantee.  Still, it 
looks like a useful filter.
