Id meant to do

I’d meant to do this post yesterday. But with the sad events of Saturday morning it seemed inappropriate.

We have our traffic statistics in for January 2003. Unique Visitors 141,660; Visits 379,311; Page Views 1,049,175. Those numbers are a shade off the December clip. But December was a big month, what with the Trent Lott business and all.

To give some perspective, those numbers are roughly twice what they were last October (73,629; 187,877; 550,035) and roughly three times what they were as recently as July (53,800; 122,974; 371,601).

(For what it’s worth, ‘unique visitors’ and ‘visits’ are to some extent questions of definition, judged differently by different web statistics programs. So I guess the closest there is to a ‘hard’ number is ‘page views.’)

In any case, I’d like to thank everyone who has visited the site, even more those who’ve returned again and again, and still more those who’ve helped spread the word to others. A sincere thank you.
