As was explained earlier, normal operation looks at the past couple of 
months, to deal with cases, where, for instance, someone has it set to 
only report on reboot, but not monthly ... due to the countries issue that 
you pointed out, I made a slight change while things restabilize so that 
it is only showing this month's stats ... I will expand it again as the 
old data for countries fades away ...

The descrepancy above is due to the sub-OS pages not using the same DB 
query as the upper one, and as I didn't do the web front end, and the 
person who did is no longer around, I have to figure out *how* the code he 
wrote works, especially for those sub pages (template system, as there is 
no "/bt/" file system *on* the server ...

As to the rest ... especially the comments about the web site itself ... 
feel like stepping into the breach on that one?  I have no creative talent 
for doing a web page, which is why I recruited someone way back when ...
