I'm not sure the Mathworks newsreader asks Google how many times
people brought up a post, but I doubt it.  I think the Mathworks
newsreader just lists views on itself, not globally over all
newsreaders.  Google does have some nice features though (such as
showing which of your posts got replied to, being able to search back
to 1994, etc.)  I just wish I could have message filters for it.  The
spam flagger is a nice feature for a small closed environment like
Mathworks but I'm not sure it would work for a globally accessible
newsreader like Google (people would spam-can some posts just because
they disagree with them).
