For those who are interested in such things, here are some stats related to WIST.

First off, how many quotes do I actually have here?

Hmmm. Looks like I've been slacking. In reality, though, I've been focusing on cleaning up and fleshing out citations. Quality over quantity, so to speak.

Secondly, who said what -- and who are the most "popular" quote-makers here?

Bear in mind, of course, that things like having a Shakespeare Quote-a-Day calendar could influence the count ...

One last bit -- total visitors to the front page of WIST since June 1999 have gone as follows:

September 2001: 8,400
Februrary 2002: 12,859
August 2003: 46,958

Cool!
