THANKS!, Thanks to all you readers, I have had seven times more hits on the homepage in May than in January (now with about 15,000 page-hits a month, or 70,000 hits a month overall). Whether that is due more to the site re-design or to all the new Davidic fights I have picked in this period, we will never know. But it is interesting to note that I posted those numbers while losing my weblinks from ARC. Those who have thought I am harming myself by speaking out appear to be wrong. Some bridges are burned while others are built.
