Monica: [reading Joey's letter from his stalker] Wait a minute; this wasn't mailed to "Days of Our Lives". It wasn't even mailed. Joey, this woman was in our building; she knows where you live.
Joey: All right! I got my own stalker!
Chandler: You're so lucky; I have to share my stalker with five other guys at work.

Last night, after I posted the Kindle thing, I checked the stat chart that Typepad offers. I didn't expect to see a lot of hits because, for whatever reason, the stat count begins around 7pm each day. Maybe they're Jewish and start at sundown? I don't know.

(More likely guess? 7pm Eastern = midnight GMT. Anyway.)

As I've said before, I don't get a huge number of hits per day. It's gone up slowly, from maybe 20 a year ago to around 40 now. So when I tune in only a few hours into the official day and see 44 hits, I have to say "Yow!".

Typepad also gives me the ability to see what pages are being accessed and at about what time, and based on that I could tell that someone was reading the site more or less sequentially, going all the way back to the start and working their way up till now.

That was interesting enough that I went to Statcounter to see what else I could find out. This person did all that reading using a Baltimore County Public Library dialup account. Too bad for you and me both, my new friend, that you won't have that account much longer. Don't feel obligated to wait another 2-1/2 years to come back.

And, as usual, feel free to comment.

I can't imagine trying to read blogs (or nearly anything else) with dial-up. That is devotion. You should be proud.
