                  literally every second after<br>

                  therefore a very critical resource for<br>
                  &gt; &gt; &gt; abuse researchers.  This is why I and
                  others are here.<br>
                  &gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
                  &gt; &gt; &gt; Due to the automated methods used for

                  &gt; &gt; &gt; consequent correlations between them,
