So I wrote a small shell script to count up who replies to my LJ comments/posts the most. I've met the people in bold

"Go away, or I will replace you with a very small shell script!"

Like this one...

titanflakes% grep -s '^From:' Special\ Mail | grep -i livejournal.com | sed -e 's/dontreply/notify/g' -e 's/lj_notify@livejournal.com//g' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | awk '$1 > 10 { print $0 }'

M'hey!

Basically it's a shell script that runs thru a file, extracts all the LJ comment addresses, adds them up, sorts them and prints them out..

it's actually a bit difficult to do, as by default both mail.app and eudora store their mail in a format that can't be easily read by OSX's command line utils (!).

So in a word.. most likely not easily ;>
