Isn't it great to be related to the developer who can actually customize the tool?

I do agree with Kevin about overabundant/redundant data, but I think that in general most freelancers (including me) make too many decisions based on emotion rather than objective data.

In the example 2009/2010. You can see that for *excample* in march 2010 there where 8 *inqueries* and in *march*[should be capitalized] 2009 just 4. And you can also see that *september* is a pretty bad month overall.
