Re: [Foundation-l] Page views

Given that there doesn't appear to be any jump in page views or reach as measured by Alexa [1], I would be inclined to assume it is some sort of a glitch with our counting infrastructure. It is hard to imagine any simple external process creating a real 50% jump in traffic. If I recall correctly,

Hoi, I certainly welcome Mr Kohs absence from this list. His brinkmanship is well known, he is not welcome on two projects as well and he boasted recently that there are still projects open to him. Getting rid of a troll is imho beneficial to the atmosphere. Mr Damian uses hyperbole to the extend

Re: [Foundation-l] Greg Kohs and Peter Damian

This list is for people who support the project, not those who are actively opposing it or criticizing in public forums in exaggerated ways. Nothing constructive or helpful is likely to be added by thekohster, and if Peter contributes something interesting and helpful it can be approved. Fred > H
