I guess I may be responsible for 10 -20 percent of the webtv hits..

I think your assessment would be correct...I am extreme in my habits
though...My connection terminates for phone calls and times out after 5 mins
of inactivity...I have had many phone calls this week (due to job
interviews) during my Lugnet reading time, so I have been connecting  10
times aday or more...

I also had some guests over yesterday who wanted to see the "Lugnet Green"
and the Leprachaun...this is of course quite entertaining after Guiness
pints...hic!

I tend to keep my connection active while watching evening tv/movies
cruising eBay, Lego webpages, and newsgroups during commercials, for instance.
