There you go again, Henry. With all due respect, how can you conclude, just from observing how many "hits" you're receiving, whether or not people "find the linked information useful"? A hit, after all, only implies eyeball exposure. It doesn't say anything about whether the owner of the eyeballs a) "recognized" the site, b) "remembered" visiting the site, c) "benefitted" from visiting the site, or d) found the site "useful".

Since you're a scientist, I have to assume that these kinds of claims are not based on any statistical or other empirical evidence, but rather are just exhortations of enthusiastic optimism to help hype Ligand.

Signed,
