Is the first line, perhaps, a total line? With the "xxxxxxxxxx"
intended to show where the actual list begins?

That is certainly my take on it. It seemed obvious.

I'm wondering if all the "uncounted" messages (like my missing 11
posts and those of other people whose totals look suspiciously low)
got lumped together into that #1 no-name entry at the top.

If you add up all the numbers of posts by named posters, the total
only comes out to 3,038, not 6,002.

If the post total was really 3,038, that works out to an average of
just over 8 posts a day, which seems low.  If you add 6,002 to the
3,038, that give an average of around 25 posts a day, which seems like
a more reasonable number.

So I'm going with that nameless first line as being the total of all
the "unclaimed" posts.

Yeah, I'm a bored computer programmer on vacataion, how could you
tell?
