Probably an ignorant question. :-)

Hi everyone,

I've been looking at my stats on my website, I'm happy to report a dayly
average of 2,907 hits per day :-).   with a peak of 4,912 a few days ago.

My question is this.  My stats allow me to know from who (if any) people
have been reaching my site from.  some of them are obvious to me as in I can
click on them and get right to the website and/or I know what website I see
and recognize them :-).....but I get others...such as:

news.boeing.com/aIGab.2880%24Ie5.656551%40news20.bellglobal.com

Which I can't directly go to....Does anyone happen to know where these come
from?   I've been at news.boeing.com itself through google searches but I
haven't seen anything that refered to my website in the contents.

I'd like to get to these (there's more to) but I'm not sure how.  I tried
subscribing to news.boeing.com to see it's newsgroups but to no
avail...aren't they all public news group?  where would I have to subscribe
to get to them?

Thanks all in advance :-)

It is a USENET group post. See the References: in the header.

You don't need to. I guess it is somebody at boeing reading this news
group and went to your page after reading about it here.

Nothing to worry about.

Thanks Preben,  Not that I was worried...but like I said this USENET group
showed up in my referals (which led me to believe that someone at
news.boeing.com might have mentioned the website "to others maybe" wanted to
know who it was, maybe thank him for refering my site etc etc..:-).

And since I couldn't get to it, I was beginning to wonder if it wasn't my
browser that was the problem :-).
