When you have a website that you care about, and update fairly often, you like to know where you get visitors from. At least, I do. It's amusing to see the search phrases that result in hits. (Scary sometimes, too) I don't advertise my site much at all, just a link on usenet and email sigs, and of course from my journal page.
So I'm browsing through my counter stats, actually looking to see if a post that Rob made had gotten any attention, when I notice that I'm getting a lot of hits to Kamir's page from various livejournal users friends pages. They didn't happen to be on my friends list, so I took a quick look, and I couldn't find on any of those pages a link to Kamir's page. Hmm. A puzzlement, I thought.
Then I notice the one thing, or rather, the one person that each of those friends lists had in common. Ah hah! sez I. It must be a friends only post.
So now I'm more puzzled. He knew Kamir, and liked him, I thought. I remember a post he made about being surprised at how smart they seemed. So what was it? A post about how he was sad to hear that a friend's cat had died? Wouldn't a note (email or livejournal) have sufficed? Perhaps he's making fun of the somewhat maudlin rainbow page. I could give a reason for that page that isn't entirely due to the loss of an 11 year companion, but I won't. That would explain the friends only part. Perhaps he's making his whole journal friends only and this has nothing to do with me. (Oh, but *everything* has to do with me, of course! You people are all just figments of my imagination! :) ) But a friends only journal hasn't really been his style.
Oh well. Just like car wrecks, government, and news stories – I'll never know the whole story.
