  Second of two.

Notes on these stats:

1) They include only "real" YASIDs.  Off-topic and pseudo-YASIDs are not
included.

2) I've attempted to capture all YASIDs, but I do kill excessive x-posts
and uninteresting threads.  This means I might miss some ObSF posts that
generate a YASID.  Feel free to point out any I missed.

3) Times are based upon my newsserver.

4) Answered means that an identification was given and was not rejected
(either by the OP or another poster).  If an answer is in "dispute" or
is only a suggestion, I leave it unanswered unless confirmed.

5) The credit goes to first responder (see #3) who answers (see #4) the
YASID with both the author and title.

6) Multiple requests per post are individually counted.  They are listed
in the same order as within the post and are identified as "First of X",
"Second of X", etc.

7) In the case of duplicative requests from the same poster, only the
first one is counted / listed.

8) The counts for most frequently requested works are based upon unique
author and title combinations.  Series and individual volume requests 
are counted separately.

9) The counts for posters most frequently answering are based upon
unique name and email combinations.  Posters with multiple names and
emails are not combined.
