Blog stats kinda' creep me out...

So, I've been playing with my visitors reports, reviewing them and trying to see when and why traffic increases, and for the most part I pick up a few new readers every couple of days who take a look and come back once in a while.

But today someone new spent an hour and half straight going through what looks to be every single public page on my blog, and a bunch of photos too. This wasn't some auto-crawler that loads a page for a second and moves on, it was definitely a person and with an ISP affiliated with a university too.

Not sure why that weirds me out. I guess I just figure that much time should be followed by at least an email or a friend request or something. Maybe part of it is that most of the people who read regularly or in-depth(ly?) have made themselves known to me, even if in just via an online profile.

Well, nothing to be done about it now. This public adventure can't be erased from memory, though I'm not sure I'd want to if I could. Still, it's the first time in a long time I've worried about exposing the best and worst of me here.

Whoever you are, oh Valley reader, you're welcome to stay and come again. And if you feel like it, drop a line and introduce yourself. I've probably double the number of public posts that only my Vox neighborhood and friends can read, so if you're interested in those, an introduction is the first step.
