I am looking for some sample data so I can do a little research into the comment rating system.

I've got some unanswered questions I'd like to satisfy. They are nothing earthshattering, I assure you, I'm just curious about the actual behavior behind how people rate comments, and to do this I need to look at some real world data. But I don't have database access to a healthy Scoop-based site, so I need some assistance.

What I'd like is a small sample of a commentratings table, probably about 10000 records. That should be enough to answer some questions, like what is the typical distribution of scores 1-5.

All of this is publically available info, but there's no easy way (that I know of) to grab the data from a site without writing a script to grab and parse pages via http.

So if anybody is feeling helpful, they could dump a few thousand rows from their scoop db, convert it to comma-separated values, zip it and mail it to me or post a link to it. Hm, I was going to say that consecutive rows would be best, but the table only has a composite key (no unique table id). Well, whatever I can get I guess.
