Default MathHelpForum stats?

Do we have any detailed statistics available for the number of postings per person? I am seeing many many postings from complete newbies (i.e. < 5 postings), very few from moderate newbies (5 < postings < 50) and then many postings from relative long-termers. I'd be interested to see a graph of number-of-postings (split into bands, probably) against number-of-users. Purely for interest's sake. I guess the graph would be approximately bathtub. I'd be interested to analyse it to see whether there would be a similar underlying mathematical (if not real-world) reason for it to be so ...

bear with me, I'm suffering the light-headed silliness borne of absolute and utter exhaustion ...
