I've been using Analog to do log crunching on some large log files and then
importing the computer readable format to Access to do specialized analysis.
It works really nicely and we've been able to generate some very helpful
results.  However, we fall back on WebTrends to get a calculation of "user
sessions" and "average length of user session" (in minutes).  I know these
numbers may be a little flaky but they are also very useful.  For example,
you can estimate how much total time people spent using a site.  One of the
sites we analyzed saw 46 person-years of traffic in October 1998 -- big
numbers like that are a great argument for additional funding ;).

so, the question to Stephen or others that have played inside of Analog, how
hard would it be to add a user sessions choice that would include a time in
session estimate?

thanks
        Dave
