[OPLINLIST] another call for Statistics Reports

[Gerry Vogel]

I want to thank those who responded to date.

*So far we have THREE.*  We are very interested *(and so are many of you!)
in getting examples of how you count and present.

Also, to know what else you count besides what is mandated. What helps
everyone get a better picture of what's going on!
