For example, let's consider just 3 top stories (instead of 30) and top 2 commenters (instead of 10):
| Story A | Story B | Story C |
|---|---|---|
| user-a (1 comment) | user-a (4 comments) | user-a (4 comments) |
| user-b (2 comment) | user-b (3 comments) | user-b (5 comments) |
| user-c (3 comment) | user-c (2 comments) | user-c (3 comments) |
The result would be:
| Story | 1st Top Commenter | 2nd Top Commenter |
|---|---|---|
| Story A | user-c (3 for story - 8 total) | user-b (2 for story - 10 total) |
| Story B | user-a (4 for story - 9 total) | user-b (3 for story - 10 total) |
| Story C | user-b (5 for story - 10 total) | user-a (4 for story - 9 total) |
