As of 04:04 this morning, these are the recorded May hits by
domain/country at my web site. I think most of the search engine hits
fall into either the "Network" or "US Commercial" catagories. Nearly
all of my site activity is the result of posting articles here and to
alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking.
