I check access stats of my HTTP server every few weeks to see what areas
are hit most often. It averages about 250 hits per day, but then I
maintain 4 FAQs and 3 lists on the Web...

FAQs: rec.arts.sf.written, alt.fan.heinlein, alt.pulp, the Liaden Universe
Biblios: writing SF, the legend of the Wandering Jew, miscellaneous SF
