Aaron: Looking at the Alexa graph I can't see any measurable drop in pageviews since the beginning of July. The past few days shows a bit of a dip--possibly attributed to this week's site upgrade, which caused some problems, but that's just speculation--but a few days just isn't statistically significant. Considering that pageviews were significantly declining literally for years before the debut of the new site, the fact that they've flattened out is an achievement. The site is brand new--if the pageviews are still flat (or declining) four or five months from now, I'll be a lot more interested in that discussion.

And you're right, Keith, I am defensive, perhaps overly so. But not only are the people I work for suffering ad hominem attacks and totally false (and, frankly, bizarre beyond reason) accusations on a daily basis, but I am being accused of "shilling for the man" simply for promoting a site that I enjoy using and think others might, too. Perhaps I'll feel differently in the morning, but right now my indignation seems justified.
