My online students are animals!

No–I’m not badmouthing anyone. I’m just stating a fact.

You see, there’s a website that allows me to gain certain information about DoctorKeys users. Because when I see a pattern of frequent visits, I sometimes can’t resist typing in the internet address to see what part of the world all that love is coming from.

Or, depending on who or what you are, just give us a tweet (or squawk, grunt or howl).

And to my other readers, before you start worrying that I’m spying on you, all I can find out about a user is the general neighborhood where they live. So rest easy, you beasts.
