It would be interesting to have views tallied from across all frontends. But one of the 'reasons' they removed the counter from Steemit was because some would simply sit and hit F5 and each time the page reloaded, that would count as a 'view'.

As for the other stuff well, you do call yourself cranky and old. I don't think you're a bad guy. Just kind of weird sometimes.
