Other interesting numbers

Nice opers here, no one got kicked!

Strange, no op was given on #C++-general!

Wow, no op was taken on #C++-general!

PJBoy always lets us know what he/she's doing: 1 actions!
For example, like this:
* PJBoy tries to make a testcase

PJBoy talks to him/herself a lot. He/She wrote over 5 lines in a row 2 times!
Another lonely one was mort, who managed to hit 1 times.

PJBoy has quite a potty mouth. 0.1% words were foul language.
mort also makes sailors blush, 0.1% of the time.
