Everything ... and I fear I screwed up :( I forgot that our search
engine was being populated yesterday, so that would be included in that
number...
More accurate numbers (and realistic) is 953 so far today ... the cgi's
are installed on pgsql.com, and the search engine software appears
designed to not pick up banner ads as long as their base URL isn't the
same as the page itself, so 953 is what ppl are seeing, not what the
search engine as indexed ...
So, more accurately, we're seeing ~2k/day ... we're going to be tracking
all this, to watch growth and whatnot ...
