I think that the system only counts a commenter as a person if they are logged in. In the case of certain external commenters, this is fairly accurate.

Indeed, this is the case. Since we can’t accurately glean from that an anonymous comment comes from a unique person, we don’t count it at all (as a design decision)

Thanks for the info. I thought that was probably the case, it makes sense for a system like this. I just though it looked a bit amusing the first time I saw ‘0 or more people’. Simple pleasures for simple minds!
