I was wondering the same thing myself. I usually average about 24,000 reads per day, but back on Thursday, January 8, 2009, I peaked at well over 40,000 reads to give me over 180,000 reads last week. At this rate perhaps I'll catch up with Steve-O someday to become the most-read person on this forum?!
I never thought that many people "lurked" in the Northeastern Pennsylvania sub-forum!
