Barker,
The information regarding, "number of individual visitors who have reviewed your pages" was provided by Andreas Marouchos, AGORACOM Community Director.
So, take up your accusation of this board's "assumptions/exaggerations" with Andreas since it was he (him?), not anyone on the forum, who phrased his observation.
Also, please provide evidence that supports your accusation that here on this forum is where someone with, "the slightest criticism gets attacked for being a "paid basher."
I haven't seen that here. Has anyone?
Cheers,
Baires
