this doesnt work as i need :o(
it returns a count of 9, not 3 in my example.
i want to know how many *individual* people are in the database for a given
'team'. in my example there are three in 'support' (this is what i want to
know), and they are each in the table three times (this is where your query
gets 9 from).
