Hi Waterman,
Most coming to the site have always been visitors. Treat any site like a shop window. There are many that will pass by to have a look in, but fewer who actually enter in to the shop.
People punch in to Google some theme and the sites pop up depending on the relevance of what the user is looking for. If what they are looking for is on our site, they will be directed here. If they're directed here and it isn't exactly what they want, they move on.
As for IP adresses, I have my own site
http://www.marketingyourmusic.net and have frequently been visited by US Government, Military, Russian Federation etc. This could be people who had a few minutes to spare on their lunch hour rather than spying on me I'm sure.
One poster in the Avalon forums posted from a public library and was classed as a local county council in the UK, which of course it was, so we could be forgiven to beleive trhat this person was working for the county council, rather than just hanging around a public library using a free internet connection.
I shouldn't worry about it too much.
Best regards,
Steve

In most forums of this type there is considerable discussion of who's IP address is visiting their forum. I for one would like to know out of the 139 on the forum right now who these groups might be.
What's your thoughts?
