I don't mean to de-rail the thread -- I'm just curious why you're dodging uploading the PDF here and instead routing users to your site with only a download link and tracker. Just to get a count?

Ohhh; it's definitely just a counter.

I'm not dodging anything; if I wanted to do that, I would have already.
Not to sound like a dick, but if you read my previous post, I already provided an answer:
"I check the counter periodically to see how many people are actually reading the page."
If you're
that paranoid; don't go to the site. I have had the site for
years and you are the first of
thousands of people to say anything. If you really think Big Brother gives a shit, I think you need to re-evaluate your world-view.
Again, not to be a dick, but you are harping on this.
