This doesn't seem to include text from submissions.

I ran it on Brian Armstrong's temp account from here, and it said it didn't write 10,000 characters:

EDIT: Or maybe it's something else because Brian only wrote less than 6k characters. But then why can my account be looked up?

Also, I would guess quoted replies are included, which muddies the analysis. Seems to be a very naive implementation. Much more can be done, but this was probably just a quick project.

Quoted replies shouldn't be included unless there's a bug on my end. Submission text is not included though I probably should have.
