[thelist] hits vs sessions

[Colin Strasser]

In this case, where the author is trying to determine how what
percentage of visitors use certain browsers, hits are a perfectly
reasonable measurement.  Assuming that Netscape users and IE users
use a site in similar ways -- and there's no reason to think they
don't -- then they'll generate a comparable number of hits per
session.  Their respective percentages of hits are therefore the
same as they would for sessions.

That said, I completely disagree that Netscape 6 is irrelevant.
