Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Tinnitus / April 2006Most often asked questions
What is the most asked question in Tinnitus land? According to the stats on my website (http://eebee.net/stats/) the most often visited pages in March 2006 were: Earpain - 486 Pulsatile Tinnitus - 469 Ginko - 465 Many more pages much smaller numbers. Sound Programs downloaded: Atmosphere Lite - 196 Tinnitus Tamer (various versions including Mac) - 58 These people do not write to me - only about 1-2 a week. These people do not enter a.s.t either. They may look, but do not join discussions. As I said before: There are many many people out in the real world who have tinnitus. Some people seem to think I exaggerate these facts. "Press Release Body - Tinnitus, a condition of ringing or buzzing in the ears, afflicts over 40 million Americans, and millions more people worldwide. A quarter of these people are severely debilitated, said Dr. Dennis Woo (PhD), Vice President of Spectral Visualization and Development (SVD) Inc. SVD is a software company in Canada that has developed a revolutionary new product, called Quiescence, for diagnosing and treating tinnitus. " http://eebee.net/quiescence.shtml Elly's Tinnitus Resources http://eebee.net/ I'm still trying to figure out: 1. What to make of your statistics. What do the nbrs mean? 2. If you have a financial stake in quiescence? I know you have a stake in your own book sales. In addition, your website seems to endorse a number of products, services and remedies. I'm kinda confused about your motivation. Maybe it doesnt really matter... Jim > I'm still trying to figure out: > 1. What to make of your statistics. What do the nbrs mean?

But traipsing back to figure out what the heck someone is replying to can get very time-consuming. I've always thought the onus was on the poster, not the reader, to make a post easy to understand.

Yer right. Susan >>You do if you have a news reader that threads messages. > > You'll find that most people who come here are looking at ast in > Internet Explorer. They have never heard of a newsreader. Ellie, that's not true. Look at the headers if you don't believe me. Susan Don't worry about the statistics. They are mainly a guide for webmasters. nbrs? I can't even see them. I have no idea. Don't worry. I do not have a financial stake in Quiescence or any other product on my website. I simply suggest things that I think could be useful to some people. My motivation? I simply want to help people. There is very little positive help out there. Elly's Tinnitus Resources http://eebee.net/ >I'm still trying to figure out: >1. What to make of your statistics. What do the nbrs mean? [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >about your motivation. Maybe it doesnt really matter... >Jim Jeez. Ok. I get it. This is replying to myself, which is a reply to the original post by Elly. I thought that since my post was the 2nd post, it would be obvious who I was directing the post to. I get daily email digest from google groups which looks pretty trashy and hard to read when everyone quotes. So, I did not quote. When I read the posts online at groups.google.com it conveniently hides quoted stuff, so that is cool. Sorry to cause such a stir on a diff topic. I'll have more to say on the topic of this thread in a minute.
