No, it's not. There's no way for the CGI program to know who has submitted
the request, unless you provide another form element to allow the user to
configure it, and that still allows them to view other people's stats. Both
anlgform.cgi and analog itself run as the server.

25% of webmasters according to one survey. That's not quite the same. I don't
have a figure for ISPs.
