A quick script on the author.html file above produced the following Top 10
Posters for September 30 through today:

291 J.R.Molloy
240 MikeLorrey
164 RobertJ.Bradbury
151 SamanthaAtkins
116 AlexF.Bokov
115 JohnClark
113 AndersSandberg
98 BrianDWilliams
91 EliezerS.Yudkowsky
91 AmaraGraps

These are not bad at all in posting volume for a 57 day period. Even JR
is averaging fewer than 6 posts per day and everyone except the top 2
is less than 3. Compare that to the interval I described above with a
number of people at 10 or even 15 posts per day.
