Subject: [Wikitech-l] On hit counters
You forgot "and a plea for peace."

Just a quick note; this fall we hope to have a system
set up for
sniffing page hits out of the network traffic to the squids and
producing aggregate statistics from that.
Cool.
In the meantime, I think we'd all appreciate a
little less fighting in
the JavaScript hit counter threads. :)
Fighting? Us? This is just sparring. Working out. You know: fun. :-)
This stuff is fun and useful but a) short-term and b)
not that
important wrt to spoofing. If someone pings the counter on some page
a lot, well... who really cares? It's not as though we're doling out
revenue based on hits.
We *aren't*? Dammit.
