>I understand you. And I am not disagreeing with you. Maybe in the future Michel will find the way to count only one view per person.
No, because this wouldn't be better either. We had that before. First of all, many wish to have a representation of the activity of the messages. So, basically, if the message is being searched by the same person several times per year, then, many wish to have that stat. It provides a representation of the activity on that message, which also give a good indication of its popularity. Sometimes, or most of the times, this should represent a good indication of the technical value of the message. On the other end, many would like to have a representation of unique access to it. In order to have that, such as we had before, it requires a CPU intensive log for every message and for that need, this wasn't justified at all. In overall, at 95% of the stat, I would say that it represents a good indication of the value of the message and its popularity at various levels such as the technical aspect. Of course, we are all aware of multiple clicks a user can do either intentionnally or unintentionnally. But, the stat is good to have better than not to have it at all.
