I could look through the thread, but I don't feel this small focus group of crazed goos can represent the entire hootoo population. In this way, I don't feel comfortable naming one skin the best or most popular

If Jim wanted to, he could settle it once and for all by picking one graphic that's unique to each skin and checking the logs to see how many times each was hit in, say, a 24-hour period. Better still, how many unique IP addresses requested each one in a given (long) period...

Yep. I was thinking along those lines. We have to remember that many users may not taylor their prefrences for one skin in favour of another though. Plus the 'unknown visitor' aspect. Need a flag to say prefrences had at least been looked at, if not altered from the default?
