To make it clear first, I'm not against discussing what kind of statistics we
want to gather. Showing the information user wants/needs is a good thing.
However:
 • I'm not sure about the others, but I'm a developer. I can argue about what is
   the best way to gather this or that set of statistics. But I have no idea
   what users want or need to know (personally, I don't really see much use of
   statistics myself, but obviously there's some). It might be similar for
   others on this list. So maybe it could be good to ask somewhere else than
   here.
 • If we agree on better set, we still might want to keep some of these
   low-level numbers (number of A queries asked, etc). So the issue at hand
   would still probably be valid.
 • If discussing about what statistics we might to want, we probably should
   start a separate thread. This one tries to solve a specific technical issue
   we're having. I think it should be solved, so we probably should continue.

Or did I misunderstood the purpose of Your message?

With regards
