Jason, I agree with the sentiments you expressed in your message (clipped from this reply); Specifically, just putting a reference into the 'whats new' page on the gfa site is right up there with the proverbial placement of council development plans in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet at the back of a disused lavatory in the basement with a sign on the door marked 'beware of the leopard' [1]. I absolutely agree that David's done a great volunteer job (that should be paid, just like services related to the magazine are paid) in maintaining the web site. I also agree that it would surely help if this facility was actually admitted to, rather than just put up there, and I obviously hope that some upbeat words about the facility are coming in the next AG/Skysailor as the obvious promotional vector. With respect to your comments about my looking at the web logs. While this is technically possible for me to do, it's inappropriate professionally for to to dig into the data files that are generated by any of our customers' usage of our facilities, for anything other than strictly operational reasons. The GFA's web logs are the GFA's information, I'm only the service provider. David has access to the web usage logs and so that request should correctly go to him as the person that 'owns' that information.
