At the end of the day, we asked a research assistant to download records in parcels of 500 which we then fed through a series of idiosyncratic, ill designed and undocumented scripts to extract the information we were after. These scripts were tuned to the research problem of the the day and are therefore not ready for prime time (or indeed for anybody else). I intend to rewrite the whole shebang in Python (which has a much clearer syntax plus pre-built structures to represent network data) if and when I find the time. Rodrigo,

Is there a link I have skipped? Because it looked just like the kind of solution I might be looking for. Congratulations for your work, by the way.
