Re: [Ayttm-users] Statistics on ayttm usage

That sounds reasonable, to me. 

Would it be worthwhile pointing out the location in the source code

and verify what is being collected?  I know I can find it by looking, 
but telling everyone might make users feel you are being very open about 
the request.
