2. LOL

The only drag is, when youcheck on your thread for the umpteenth time, it counts as a new "view".

I thought it might make me feel less invisible.

5. Well, I like to know that what I've written has at least been looked at...

even if it isn't deemed worthy of a response. :hi:

8. The feature is pretty easy to ignore; what I hate is those little counters they

put up on web sites saying, "You are visitor number 000042." They are usually laughable because of their very low count!!! It's an ego thing, I think. Nice to know your words are being read at all...

In peace,

10. I think it's great! (Sorry wildhorses!)

It's interesting when there is a post with 10 replies and 876 "viewings!" I guess I didn't have any idea how many people read any given post.

:hi:

14. I don't have that kind of time

Early on, it was getting thousands of views an hour. I've only opened the thread to read responses.

12. I like it and I don't like it.

I like it because it's nice to know people look at my thread, but it also gives me a little stage fright. And I'm hoping it won't start any flamewars. :hide:
