Question about Spiders

[imoldernu]

When I look at site statistics, I see "currently active users"... Does the total number there include spiders? Never understood how they are seen or counted.
Just wonderin'

 

[braumeister]

Spiders inflate the count substantially, because they can use four keyboards simultaneously.

 

[REWahoo]

The count includes multitudes of millipedes...

 

[imoldernu]

Hmmm... ok

I didn't understand this either...

Certainly scores of centipedes sway site statistics.

And here I was wondering if this was going to be a thread about arachnids or ETF's. Never judge a book by its cover; or the internet age analogue... never judge a thread by its subject line...

 

[MRG]

And never show my DW a thread here that mentions spiders.
