    Yes, I've seen the statistics on the Reuters pages, thanks. You offer a lot
    of diagrams on interesting features like distribution of stories across days
    or POS distribution, but unfortunately there is no word/token count of the
    entire corpus (or maybe I missed that information). Maybe somebody else has
    done such a word count?

    Best... Ute
