Imagine two lines on a chart, one goes up, that’s the number of web pages served here, and one goes down, that’s the income generated by those web pages, through advertising, donations, and sales of chart reports.
But I might be bitter.
I liked that analogy, though. Suppose you go to that diner with free coffee where you sometimes buy a muffin, and suppose that there’s a big sign in front, “Closed. (Couldn’t pay the rent.)”
Glad I’m not bitter.
