To demonstrate ow meaningless it is, you can actually use Analog to generate a table that you can stick in a spreadsheet to "calculate" an average. Assuming you use some sort of session-cookie, you can use this cookie as the User field, and create a User Report with the First and Last Time/Date, and the number of pages requested (USERCOLS EDP). This won't tell you the average per page, though, which is even more bogus now that "tabbed" browsing is coming into vogue (I have a browser open with 9 pages from the same site as I write this. I might spend 1 minute each reading them, but any "average visit time" metric will show that I spent an average of 2 seconds on each of the first 8 pages, and, if I open another page from the site when I've read the 9th page, it'll have a "visit time" of 9 minutes. Utterly bogus.
