People register an actual name or a username--either way, there is a findable count.
SOME of those people Submit; many do not, but they are a findable count.
A public blog also has a findable "hits" list--people who can read at the public blog but choose not to submit any comments.
No matter what, NO public forum has to stay in one parochial place.
In comparison to how vast the www is, Western New York is minute.
This is the 'Seriously, really-really...' part:
Besides the countable people who put themselves in upfront visibility, and those who choose to read but not post and are also countable, and besides any Internet site's/log's "hits' count:::
*~There are also people who can and most certainly DO read at public forums then can cut, past, copy, save, print, "thumbthingy", teletalk, snailmail, tell some one else to "check this out!", etc.~
Those *~people~ are an already-grown legion. They are creating a legacy that becomes legendary, AND it only takes a fraction of a second!
Also, imagine this most singular possibility: A college student needs info for a human psychology course, finds a site or log loaded with good stuff, then uses every means available to present what was found to a class.
And that is just one college student in one class!!!...
(Using three dots used to only mean there was more said but, I started using three dots to mean think further on your own... I don't mean that as an insult. I mean YOU CAN DO IT! YES YOU CAN!)
There is NO WAY to stop what got on the Internet; no way, no how!
"Gone fishin". Be back in a a few days. gsip
