Second that. And with exodus of ~ 1M people, Bay Area traffic got a lot nicer.

Have you got a source for that number?

The number may be incorrect, but the improvement in traffic was pretty obvious to us living in SF at the time.

Right now client IP's are logged in the web logs as part of logging requests. Logs are kept up to 7 days.

Thanks for catching this. Corrected.

Not a typo, but the usual metaphor here is "fiefdom":

"Excessive specialization and compartmentalization creates thiefdoms."

Indeed. Thanks.
