Does anyone have a way to exclude article bots from being considered for the "top poster" stats?

If you just installed it, I think you need to wait until there are new articles on your RSS feeds that are after the time you first ran it.

I checked the feeds I was going to use with a desktop RSS reader. My articlebots would not import information from the feeds the first time I ran it, but once new articles were added to the feeds after I ran my Articlebots the first time, the articles would then show up.

(someone please correct me if I am wrong, but that seemed to be the case with my install. If this is the case, it would be a good piece of info to include in the install notes...)
