NEW: you can also pass in a second argument that will stop parsing if the comment is older than a given 'created' value

npm install reddit-user-dump

example

var lastParsed = 0;

function wrapper(username, callback) {
    var test = require('../index.js')
    console.log(test);

    var submissionCount = 0;
    var commentCount = 0;
    var total = 0;

    test(username, lastParsed)
        .on('user', function(userObj) {
            console.log(userObj);
        })
        .on('submission', function(submission) {
            submissionCount += 1;
        })
        .on('comment', function(comment) {
            //console.log('comment found!');
            commentCount += 1;
        })
        .on('metrics', function(metrics) {
            console.log(metrics + ' requests per second');
        })
        .on('page', function(after, count) {
            total += count;
            console.log('page complete found',
                'submission: ', submissionCount, 'comment', commentCount, 'total', total);
        })
        .on('data', function(obj) { //this is a comment or submission that is pushed
            if (obj.data.created > lastParsed) lastParsed = obj.data.created;

            console.log('parse complete found',
