If you are a live person, I'd like to have you counted as a live reader rather than a reverse spammer.
To be counted as a live reader, would you please access this blog from a Google search for "magree.blogspot.com"? When you do the search, please use your local Google search, besides google.com for the US, there include
google.ru
google.cn
google.co.uk
and many others.
I just did a search for magree.blogspot.com from google.cn. Although my access was recorded as from the U.S., the reference was from google.com.hk (Hong Kong).
Thanks, Mel

The strange behavior of Google search
The statistics for this blog include search words used to find an entry. Every so often I follow up on these search words to see where Google had ranked my entries.
"why read is irregular" had nearly 19 million hits and "Why read?" is at the top!
"toast anachronism" had about of 3.5 million hits and "French toast – an anachronism in a classic of French literature" is also at the top!
Has Google changed its algorithms to be give more personal results? That is, do these show at the top because my name is in them? Or did I really have blog entries that were more appropriate to the query? I could believe this with a find of a couple of dozen, but not millions.

An interesting reference to this blog
Among the statistics I receive about this blog are the search words used to find it. One recent one was "tundra lingon och chili"; "och" is Swedish for "and". Whoever used it must have gone through many search items; I couldn't find this blog in the first fifty entries when I used the search terms in quotes. I tried just the words without the quotes and found it - "You really are good at foreign languages".
It's interesting that the searcher used a Russian word, a Swedish word, and a Spanish word.
