I agree, not WHO, just HOW MANY. On any forum like this that I go to, I like seeing the view count. Not that I favor a big or small view count, because somethimes, I will look at ones with low numbers just becuase maybe it has not been viewed much and maybe I can help. WIth a high view count, I figure surely the issue has been beaten to death, and I leave it alone, *or*, I may actually read it to see what all the buzz is about.

Either way, I figure the more info we have as users the better.

As for WHO, that should NOT be shown.

>I believe, IIRC, that your initial version showed who viewed the message. And I remember that some expressed concern about privacy issue; which makes sense. I think what Matt is saying is to show how many times a message has been viewed without showing the names or IDs. This would not invade any body's privacy.
