    That's funny. Isn't there some software that prevents too many clicks from the same computer from being counted? I think it was written for precisely this problem, people artificially running up their page views in order to bilk advertisers or fool bosses.

    If the newspaper is using Google Analytics, it won't count of those refreshes.

    Almost all places have systems in place to prevent that from happening. Now, that is a generalization, and there are plenty of ways around it. But, for the most part, internal traffic isn't counted.

    Look, I know things are awful, and a lot of people here have been affected in terrible ways.

    I'm just saying that any kind of positive news and rebound MIGHT mean we get less of the terrible news in the near future or even beyond. You take what you can get in the industry right now, right? It might mean we've reached or at least are reaching some kind of bottom.

    Don't know, just seems possible to me.
