> With a runaway total of over 7000 posts on Hacker News, Clement Wan averages 2.24 posts a day since Hacker News took off (It's been 3,158 days since Feb 19, 2007). Two very mysterious users appear on this list.

Is this submissions and comments, or just subs, or just comments?

Not only that he stopped more than a year ago so the average was higher while his account was active.

It's just submissions - I think I should go over and make the wording less ambiguous.

OK, cool. EDIT: I forgot to say this is a cool submission!

There are people who submit about 5 items per day, so I'd be mildly interested to see how many people submit eg more than one article per day.

Running this query:

SELECT author, COUNT(1) AS c FROM [fh-bigquery:hackernews.stories] WHERE author IS NOT NULL GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 2 DESC LIMIT 1000

and armed with the knowledge that HN has been in existence for 3158 days, there are 11 people who post strictly more than once a day. They are: 1 cwan 7077 2 shawndumas 6602 3 evo_9 5659 4 nickb 4322 5 iProject 4266 6 bootload 4212 7 edw519 3844 8 ColinWright 3766 9 nreece 3724 10 tokenadult 3659 11 Garbage 3538 Just under 1 a day: robg 3121

I don't have a problem... really; I don't need an intervention.

Have you checked your profile settings page recently? There's a cute option called "noprocrast" there. Much cheaper than a visit to a specialist. ;).

(seriously though: keep on submitting!)
