On the bottom of threads, particularly the Dore thread, I notice a number of guests reading. Where do guests come from? Are they usually non-member individuals who find this board and are perusing; individuals that come here via a google or other search-engine link? Just curious as to the lump of possibilities folks find the threads. :o

That's what it is...people who have not registered reading those posts that they are able to view. I think a lot of members lurked like that before they joined; I know I did.

Won't you show up as a guest if you aren't logged in, too? (Meaning you've registered, just logged out.) So "guests" aren't always strangers to us...

Possibly a slurp-spider as well. I had to ask about these...it's a good thing...it gathers our subject info to link people who do a search on yahoo for the information.
