Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A hit happens every time you load a page.

edit: or does each graphic count too? but if it did, the graphics would be cached on the browser after the first time, right?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

The bandwidth/hits ratio is higher on low-hit days. It slopes. Not very intuitive.

Higher hits, lower post length, maybe?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Watch and posts have a lot of very short posts.

That makes sense. We can recruit extra Buffistas, then, if they are concise.

Hey! Stop snickering. It could happen.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

DX, I just checked the mail log files, and the viruses are coming from a system at an Italian ISP: [80.23.235.217] (host217-235.pool8023.interbusiness.it).

Most email viruses don't rely solely on the user's address book to propogate. They scan the user's entire hard drive and look for files containing email addresses. A person's web browser cache is a fertile source of email addresses.

The easiest way to deal with the problem is to go in and prevent non-subscribers from posting to the list.

Okay, first, Yikes! Italy?

Second, good idea about the non-subscribers.

My personal b.org address has also been getting them. Now to figure out what to do about that.

Is that already a switch on the listserv software? Make it so!
