Posts that have the following first names...

Michelle - 2026
Sasha - 1789
Sarah - 1716
Irina - 914
Scott - 690
Elvis - 555
Kurt - 544
Jenny - 552
David - 453
Frank - 412
Jennifer - 412
Kristi - 380
Jamie - 375
Todd - 361
Angela - 327
Fumie - 265
Tim - 174
Yuka - 137
Richard - 136
Yoshie - 136
Viktoria - 123

Posts that have the following last names...

Kwan - 957
Cohen - 583
Hughes - 583
Yagudin - 530
Kirk - 335
Browning - 238
Hamilton - 233
Volchkova - 215
Tarasova - 209

Bellemare - 93
Carroll - 52
Kerrigan - 51
Howard - 41
Balkov - 30
Callaghan - 28

Note - the queries I'm doing don't make a different between a Michelle "Kwan" and a Michelle "Currie" - but you can roughly tell just how much interest the top 3 US ladies get on the site.

how interesting adrian. You would have probably gotten more numbers for alexei if you spelled his name with an x. And also, you should look for nicknames too like yags and plush. People use those a lot too.:P

Hey Adrian (there's one more count for you!) if you're still looking for things to do, how 'bout giving us the count for:

Shae
Emmanuel (although there are probably some different spellings of that!)
Brian (any one)

I did that last night at home. Right now I'm doing some performance tests on a network switch and its painfully slow - setup the test, let it run, record the results.

What's killing me is not knowing what program Sasha might be doing - I'm waiting to see if R&J becomes her new LP, and what it might look like in LP format.

Oops! :oops: I didn't look at the time of the post. But still, are you sure you're really getting all that much done today? ;) I know how you are.....can't sit still....bouncing all over the place in anticipation....:D

Actually - amazingly enough - I am. That network switch can't run at 100% traffic on each port, which is a problem for us. And they pay me to find out the problems! :P 8-)
