Agreed. You haven't suggested there's anything wrong with it, but for the year I have
participated on this list, I have noticed a point of view, noted as well in your last
post, that random ils callers are perhaps in the minority. It's that point of view I
am disagreeing with. BTW, many, many random callers don't log in. In additon the
unreliability of Microsoft's ils servers means that more people have sought out other
servers with the help of your web site. So I am not sure why you included your
statistic.
