This post replies are going on longer than the latest :D
The first has to do with the pull period. I've asked this before but it was mainly about when it was pulled, rather than the date range or period for which it is pulled. The question is, even though you may pull it earlier or later on Sunday, is the period of time of the data request always the same?
7 days back from when I get my sorry backside out of bed. I don't think this matters too much, and the 'random' timing is perhaps more fair as we have people across many time zones. Saying that, 3/4 hours difference each week is unlikely to have a huge effect.

I hope this helps!
This helps, @abh12345. Thank you. With the first question I'm now wondering if there might be an overlapping period from one week to the next, and if so, if comments within that overlapping period would get counted both weeks. I've never personally experienced that, but was wondering if it is possible. As far as when the data is pulled, that's obviously up to you. I make the choice not to get on Steemit on Sunday, so whatever activity goes on there until the list is pulled is what it is. I just try to seven days worth of work in whatever time I have. :)
There could be overlap if I pulled the data earlier than the previous week, some entries would be counted again.
If it's bugging people then I might change it to cover Sunday to Saturday, I don't think anyone else has mentioned it before :)
Oh, I'm sure no one has. I'm the only one who sits around thinking about these things, so I wouldn't change what you're doing at all. And it was mostly curiosity more than anything on my part. No one has asked or talked to me about any of this. So, no worries, and I do appreciate the answers.
