           busy servers it may be a good idea to keep that one just for
           'urgent' messages. Default is null; no message.
  
+ If either of these special user accounts are specified, the users should

+ 
 +snapshot
 +--------
 +
 +The software will, by default, send statistical snapshots about the
 +local installation to a stats server on the laconi.ca Web site. This
 +data is used by the developers to prioritize development decisions. No
 +identifying data about users or organizations is collected. The data
 +is available to the public for review. Participating in this survey
 +helps Laconica developers take your needs into account when updating
 +the software.
 +
 +run: string indicating when to run the statistics. Values can be 'web'
 +     (run occasionally at Web time), 'cron' (run from a cron script),
 +     or 'never' (don't ever run). If you set it to 'cron', remember to
 +     schedule the script to run on a regular basis.
 +frequency: if run value is 'web', how often to report statistics.
 +           Measured in Web hits; depends on how active your site is.
 +           Default is 10000 -- that is, one report every 10000 Web hits,
 +           on average.
 +reporturl: URL to post statistics to. Defaults to Laconica developers'
 +           report system, but if they go evil or disappear you may
 +           need to update this to another value. Note: if you
 +           don't want to report stats, it's much better to
 +           set 'run' to 'never' than to set this value to something
 +           nonsensical.
