Re: LYNX-DEV interesting note regarding lynx usage

[Bela Lubkin]

Here are some stats from www.armory.com.  I think they're relatively
interesting because the site is fairly busy and has totally eclectic
pages (thus totally ecletic readers).

5 days (120 hours):

395215 total hits
178112 non-graphical hits (crude approximation of "no inlines")
  2769 Lynx hits (1.55%) (ignoring hits from armory.com itself)

I can easily collect the site names associated with those old versions.
What do people think of sending out mail to those sites (address@hidden
address@hidden) pointing out where they can get 2.6?  It would provoke
some angry replies, lots of apathy, and -- the good part -- hopefully
some number of sites actually upgraded.
