Enhancement Request for the ability to examine various sets of metrics for a single thread?

Dear JimRob and JohnRob:

It would be extremely helpful to have a new feature in-thread to provide us with the ability to examine some of the following metrics-like data for a single thread.

- the number of unique freepers commenting to the thread.

- a list of the top three to five freepers who posted on the thread, measured by # of posts.

- an easy link to retrieve the comments posted in-thread by a user-specified freeper.

For those threads with a large number of comments, it is sometimes tedious and difficult to calculate such metrics on one's own. Such functionality could be enabled only for those threads reaching a predetermined number of comments or views or other criteria.

You are kidding, aren't you?

.....followed by demographic data, showing the geographic location, occupation, income and education level of each poster.

And their shoe size.

Maybe he gets points with his boss when more people take part in the eligibility threads he craps on all the time. Maybe more money or something.

Or maybe it would help the DoJ keep track of who to arrest later.

Looks to me like we can't process the data offered currently at times.

The more the slower when the pipes are full of vid hungry smart phones and movie downloads.

Hmm hmm hmm.

Hmmmm.... I like it the way it is.

You may have touched on something there... Using the old thumbs up and thumbs down metric wouldn’t look good for After-Birther postings. ;-)

[little jeremiah]

Heheh - I don’t think members here really want to be tracked very much.

Maybe a thread could be started suggesting we all out ourselves with our real names and addresses, and photos! And where our kids go to school!

[little jeremiah]

Well, another one bites the dust!

(Dumb ideas, that is. Dumb or maybe nefarious!)
