This program compiles data on all users in one group. Information provided for each user includes the number of messages sent, number of likes given, number of likes given to one's own messages, likes received, average number of likes received per message, total likes not including self likes, average likes per message without self likes, total number of words sent, rates of receiving and giving likes from and to each other member in the group, and rates of sharing likes with other members.
