* The February Web Statistics here are different for a complexity of reasons. The figures here now present an amalgamation of all server logs into a larger log culling of information but also more complexl the shorter month and a server log breakdown for tracking which occurred in the last week of February 2004 altered numbers significantly - essentially, the last week of data here was also lost so hit counts here are significantly lower and compensated for accordingly.
