Web Site Counter Reset
Some of you may have noticed that, for a short time, the counter near the bottom of the home page was displaying an inaccurate number of hits to the site. It appears the data used by this tool became reset to 0 late yesterday night or early this morning. This problem has been corrected by manually resetting the counter to an estimated number of hits that should be reasonably accurate. Apologies for any confusion this may have caused.
