To wit: Who has had the most OPs “Threadspotted?” Is there any tag in the software that could show that **Scylla** , for example, has had 10 threads spotted? Or would someone just have to burn a week or two and slog through the Archives with a spreadsheet?

In the threads I’ve seen that made threadspotting, someone often posted stating that fact. “Hey, we made threadspotting”. You could do a search on that.

If you’d have asked this on a Monday, I’d probably pick up the challenge and slog through the archive (my job gives me a lot of free time).

If this is still unanswered come Monday, prehaps I’ll take a stab at it.
