Analog ignores the method - it's not something that matters for what
analog is designed to do.

Analog ignores POSTs on all platforms - preprocessing won't be much
more efficient on a different platform either.

If your marketing people feel a strong need to pour money down the
drain, I can suggest far more productive things they could do than
spend it on WebTrends - they could just draw numbers out of a hat,
because if they think numbers like "user sessions" can actually be
extracted from Web logs, then it doesn't really matter what numbers
they use (I've seen WT reports show that 52% of page views represented
115 "user sessions" out of 75,000 total sessions. The people publishing
the report didn't even ask themselves if there might be an underlying
reason for this discrepancy, because they have no concept of "stateless
connections", or caching proxies).
