On the other hand, "emailaholics" tend to send emails throughout the waking hours from 0900 to 0100. These groups are pretty stable: roughly 75 % of users stay in the same group over a 2 year period. That gives a pretty good way of classifying individuals that could be used by demographers. Interestingly, the technique can also be used to spot spambots which do not fit into either group."

This overwhelming victory helped to preserve the Continental Army and set the stage for the Battle of Princeton the following week.
