As a counterpoint--We tried AWStats and found its "robot separation" inadequate. It simply didn't recognize the spiders visiting our site very well, and I don't think it gave us any way to define new spiders on our own. I'm sure there are other good things about it, but this was a deal-breaker for us. -----Original Message----- From: Joseph M.
