Goodbye to Google Analytics (or "Aroint Thee, Cookies!")

We've deleted the Google Analytics coding from the site. It was up for only a few days.

When we first got the invitation, it seemed like a chance to try something free and cool. And we admit, it was fun, after we had installed the requisite code on each page of the site, to go and peek at the data.

But after a few days, we started hearing from users, who reported that the site was now trying to foist cookies on them. So the coding has been uninstalled. The cookies are gone, your privacy is intact, and our conscience is again clear.

Because we think it's a good motto. Don't be evil.

I am also deleting Google analytics from my site. It seems to be having an adverse affect on the cookies I set for site operation.
