Congrats to SportsJournalists.com

Congrats Webby and all the crew. This note from the front page:

Most Online Today: 447. Most Online Ever: 447

Looks like a new high for simultaneous users, anyway. Should count for something. Hope it's making money.

 

I'll break out my copy editor hat and let you know that "new high" is redundant. Kind of like "new record."

I digress.

 

Aaargh! Got me.

I'm all about the new record or new mark redundancy but 'new high' never hit me until you did. :-\

 

how 'bout "new high-water mark"?

 

Wicked, my man...

YOU'RE HIRED!

 

You're all wet.

 

Unfortunately, as discussed previously on Anything Goes, this record is bogus. More and more the site is getting probed by the major search engines. Occasionally, Yahoo will send a small army to crawl through everything on this site. That's what happened in this instance.

 

Oh, so that explains the hundreds of guests in the wee hours.

 

Good that we are getting scanned over by Yahoo, etc. Bad that our records get screwed up.

 

Probed, eh?

 

You know, when I close my laptop, but I do not get signed out. I also will leave my computer on at my desk overnight, so I may be "logged on" but I am not looking at the pages.
