i don't have site access, but i do know where we have a list of all
UIDs...

bring up an article, and click the edit link...

press the 'change author' button...

view the source of the resultant window...

select only the block of code with the option tags... delete the
rest...

put your cursor on the last line and ask your editor what line it is...

divide by 2...

or do what i did, and do a quick s-n-r so each option tag is on its
own line... now you've got a real count...
