Thank you Jeremy. Your effort in resolving this is greatly appreciated, as well as your personal note via email.

Having 33,000+ views from the first 33 visitors could have been misinterpreted as being somewhat dishonest with stats, so I thought it best to remove the code at that time.

I'm re-inserting the code, and look forward to the upcoming year (and beyond).

There's not too much that I consider "fun" on the web anymore (I'm just an old-timer), but I really do enjoy collecting the flags from around the world. In the past I have had the free counter(s). I thought it time to start paying up. I can't think of anything else online that is as much fun for $29 a year.

Have a great year.

Frank
