No offense intended, but are you really surprised the numbers are low? I don't have access to your logs, but from what I can tell, hardly anyone is visiting Pipedot.

I'm one of the more frequent posters, but always anonymous, and so I couldn't even vote.

At this very low sample size, averaging might be expected; I don't know that one could really determine anything from the poll yet.

I hope this is just pessimistic and that Pipedot's audience is increasing; its design, thoughtfulness, and editorial quality deserve it.
