Who we are !!!!!

I was trolling the internet and came upon this link:
http://www.quantcast.com/ipdusa.com

I am not sure that I agree with all that is said. It always amazes me when people who know nothing about you, claim to know so much!

Very interesting...didn't know we had that much traffic here.
Wonder how accurate all of the stats are?

I went there too... I don't know whether I put much stock in anything they're saying. For instance, how could they possibly know whether I am caucasian, black, hispanic, or oriental???? How could they possibly know how many kids I have??? If you look at the "Share of Visits" breakdown, we have no "addicts." I dunno about anyone else, but what exactly constitutes a "regular" versus an "addict?" We have a number of people, especially our great mods, who are here several times a day answering posts... if that's not what an "addict" is, then what is?...

All I'm saying is that the info on that page looks like a lot of bunk... nothing credible anyways.

I noticed the addicts, no addicts stats. None here, apparently, but several over on IPD. I just can't imagine someone visiting IPD on a daily basis. :roll:

Statistics!!

When I was a government servant there was a saying, "Give me statistics and I can make them tell you anything you want to hear."

It still applies.
