Re: [ga] Weekly posting summary for ga@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx additions

[Hugh Dierker <hdierker2204@xxxxxxxxx>]

I find this a little disconcerning. A gentleman intertwined with the BoD of 
ICANN is not familiar with the counting of the number of visits to an IP 
address. To be this disconnected with the principal means of calculating the 
efficacy of a domain name and the routing of user inquiries is kind of scary. 
 
One would gather therefrom that ICANN just throws up web stuff but has no idea 
if it works. I guess the notion of outreach is totally lost in translation. It 
probably works well for Roberto because the notices and the like are not really 
calculated to reach anyone who is not specifically invited to the table.

It's an automated script run out of cron... :-)

Anyone who wants to add their spin can do so via:

       The script I use can be found here:

       You'll have to tweak things a bit (i.e., it uses MH, and
       assumes messages are one per file).

Sorry, I'm not sure what your asking for exactly. If you are trying to
get stats about whether or not anyone actually reads the list
("hits"?), I don't see how that would be possible.
