I have had about 20 hits on my Sitemeter this morning from a certain I.P. address that look like this:

No referral URL, no hit on the main page, just a direct hit to my Popularity contest post. It looks like there is an email going around that organization with a link to my post.
Still nothing visible from the Brady Campaign I.P. address. But just one solitary hit might have gotten lost in the noise. Either that or the fifth of Jack Daniels and 30 count bottle of Ambien started kicking in.
Update: Scratch that. They just stopped by looking at something else:

I linked it and have seen it on facebook. So, it’s getting around.
I can distinguish referrals from you and Roy. This was something different. No referral strings. Either it was typed in directly, in “Favorites”, or it was a click in an email.
That reminds me, I need to modify Ansible to display “personalized” messages to the Brady Bunch when / if they drop by. That IP comes in handy. Do you have the last octet or is it from a Class C?
It has always been 65.242.56.162.
I had 21 visits from them in 2008. I haven’t checked 2009.
It is somewhat surprising to me that, given how much they have distanced themselves from their Handgun Control, Inc. roots, the Brady Campaign continues to keep that name on their ISP… is that so hard to change?
Linoge,
I don’t know. They might not even know that it shows up.
