Interesting stats. I hope that you are able to make this data extraction
automatically, and don't have to count it by hand - ouch!

It would be very useful if you also could filter through some AI screen to
note whether the post was on or off-topic, and also attach a value for how far
off-topic the post might have been. I don't know exactly what use this data
would provide, but would find it interesting (dang, I keep using that word,
over and over).

Thanks for taking what ever time was required.

Wow! Thank God for high speed internet service huh? Otherwise
your post would have revelance.

I'm betting that the top ten posters above do not have a real job. Instead,
they hang out all day and post meaningless dribble about how cool it is to
own a Tamron lens. How do you guys do it? Did you inherit a large sum of
money and a life long subscription to Photography magazine?

Hey, I'm #9, work a real job AND don't post meaningless dribble about
Tamron.

I just read and type faster than you.

Don't hate me because I'm literate.
