Can we just move everyone's post counts over?
 



I think James is the first non-Moderator to have his old post count transferred over.  If Bapu approves, it can shirley be done and I can help him do it if he wants.  I thought it would be a nice gesture yesterday but haven't asked Bapu yet.

The mission is yours, Drew, if you choose to accept it 




Producinging a delimited list from public web sites is juan thing.
 
Updating a database is another.

If you build the list I can update the db. I'm a programmer and the site owner.

I sent him a PM last night (or perhaps very early this morning) about archiving threads from this place with a webcrawler and whether there's a web server to host such things and what knot, but he seems to be busy for sum reason and I don't want to nag him.


Retrieving things is not necessarily terribly hard (though juan must be conservative so as knot to look like a DOS attack or whatever), but it's not worth spending time on unless there is an actual use for it.

Any favored delimited format?
