I checked the site meters on some of the blogs that I frequent, and some I go to now and then. I checked the comments quantities on sites that have comments, and where I have an idea of the changing of the guard on comments. I put this into my weighting engine - I am a retired engineer and did a lot of estimating in the late '50s, and '60s and '70s which resulted in my developing a weighing engine (in my head); maybe everyone has one - and nudged numbers around until they weighted what I wrote.

This means 4000 more than occasional visitors vs. maybe 300 at 10 hits per day hard core regulars. [<i>Interesting.

No kidding. All it had was a stainless steel counter. God, I'm old. I remember when the McDonalds sign said 500,000. No kidding. All it had was a stainless steel counter. God, I’m old.
