thanks, Finn, I think this would be a handy tool. but that said... I need it to look up 9 users. :) Unless the tool is already handy, it's probably just as easy in my case to look at the user contributions in standard 500-edit increments. It just gets onerous for high-volume editors, but still shouldn't take more than 20 minutes or so I guess...
