Note one thing however -- I looked at my usage stats the other day and
found they had increased trmendously. However, close inspection of
the log file showed that around April 3-6 a mail robot at
void.ncsa.uiuc.edu had been active, multiplying my load from an
average twenty to over a thousand requests per day...
Just to show that you need to know what you're measuring...
Interesting hostname, by the way...
