And the 250,000th visitor is . . .
SiteMeter & SquawkBox concur. Michael Harold was the 250,000th visitor to the website. Special thanks to Shanna Compton for the tip vis-à-vis SquawkBox’s logging of recent messages. On the question of the “false positives,” my best guess is that these were the clicks immediately prior to the actual number but that Michael’s click had been registered by the system before that part of their screen was completely “drawn.”
