[outthere]

thanks for your thoughts Bill it has given me several things to consider and try to re-work.

I'll probably go ahead and drop the counter with future submissions. I have a pretty good idea of my traffic at this point and since I have made plans to move to a new host in less than 2 weeks where I can access true stats I can live without it for that time.

And yes copy is a great mystery - one I would like to at least understand better though I doubt any of us will ever solve it completely.

I promised myself a day off today since I have now gone three weeks without one and am already violating that a little by catching up on boards emails etc. So I guess I have one of my tasks cut out for me tomorrow - though I have no expectations of solving it in a day.
