Hi Roger, thanks for your time. I am a long time fan of your work. One of the best shows I've seen was when you played opposite the Grateful Dead in Oakland in '76. How did that show come about? It sure seemed like an odd pairing of music.

This kind of stuff pisses me off. I know you've probably been asked a million times so forgive me for asking again. Have you contacted your congressman? S/He is supposed to advocate for you with government agencies. Can we (redditors) bury your congressman and senator with requests on your behalf?

As a former developer who has done the same many times I think you'll agree that page views are pretty much a meaningless metric. Traffic for the sake of traffic is a waste of bandwidth. Visitors that make purchases, provide information or click on paid advertisements have meaning. Visitors that simply load a page and move on have no value.

That said, how did the increase in page views (you didn't mention if they were unique visitors) benefit the site?

"it could be profitable any second if I chose to. However I just don't want to..." I guess things have changed in business since I retired.
