Why do they have to fiddle with things?

I've spent all evening trying to get to my stats and at last I've cracked it.  I'm sure there is a conspiracy out there to stop us oldies coping with the internet.  They will keep improving things which were perfectly alright in the first place.  When I say "I've cracked it," I mean I have fumbled my way into the system, but I'm not sure I will be able to do it again tomorrow. However, don't think you've seen the back of me as I have already found the way to make a post.  I suppose it is silly really that I find looking at my stats so necessary, but I don't want to be writing to a totally disinterested world.  It is bad enough that you are all so silent and no one makes a comment.  One friend explained that the process of making a comment entails giving all sorts of details about yourself, so I don't blame you.
