I’m disabling the Sitemeter statistics counter at LGF, which has been in place for several years, for these reasons:

1) There are often connectivity issues with Sitemeter’s servers, that affect LGF’s page loading speed. We have enough connectivity issues of our own, and don’t need any more, thank you.

2) I now have statistics gathering methods in place at LGF that surpass the features afforded by Sitemeter.

3) I’m willing to forgive a lot of connectivity issues, but I draw the line at spyware: Things you should know before using Sitemeter.
