[geodeticman.5]

Misty - one more thought, regarding your comment on the sheer number of 'views' as opposed to posts. It used to be about a 10:1 ratio = view10, post 1 that is... And when I noticed that one time was when Ron Measoner made a casual comment about it, like it might be a record in corfid maybe, who knows, We agreed its interesting to note, but no big deal. I do Wonder how many of those views are coming from outside of corfid proper, like with the tags I have on it, people in other websites on folk music, lyrics etc could do a query on Lightfoot, folk-legends, even geodeticman, and get the thread.

I tagged it with: gordon lightfoot (oddly it changes caps you enter to lower case in the display anyway) ,folk-legend, lyrics , & geodeticman, (5 'words' is all it will take) because I am a member of several different folk & lyrics sites, myspace, other science and math stuff, and I go by geodeticman in all - and maybe we'll get some ppl interested just enough to come in, then stay for the good conversation & music ! I don;t think lyrics holds a record of any kind, even internally - the thread for 'What is you favourite Lightfoot song' comes in first -the old venerable thread that comes up once inawhile like with new memebers, and it rises fron the depths of archival numbers - but its still a live thread, then it gradually sinks back down over time again to 2,000 or something posts !

Its possible the lyrics thread has more loogie-loo views, but I'm pretty sure 'favourite song' has lyrics beat on posts by a long shot. No matter, and at least others brought it up, not myself; raising that question by myself would have felt kind of in poor taste, but its fun someone else did !

Now on views, I noticed that at the time I looked, the 10:1 thing varied seemingly from 5:1 to around 15:1 . So, just for S's and G's, I added 5 thread tags - the key words we all know that commercial sites actually pay people to come up with to catch as many semi-specific queries as possible, and it works. But they take it to a ridiculous spam extreme.

In here, however, when I added the 5 tags, sure enough, at the time we were about 10:1(in lyrics), and rose to 15:1, maybe a fluke, no matter. But it has no bearing on players, now that I think about it. Unles we catch a Lighthead. And as we;ve all said many times, they find us. The tags do work, thread be thread, 5 per.... well enuf of my blabberty. back to work on lyrics for a Satudrday night. I have them all figured out. Just have to format, upload, and throw the giant pump-first Electric main on lol.....we should be up in about an hour or less.
