E - I want to apologize for giving you and your fanboys a hard time  .  I found that your pool's share reject rate to be a better metric to compare your pool against other pools in a backup role (non-prop pools that pay consistent reward for each share submitted.)  Your pool is efficient enough to be a primary pool for my proxy which comprises of BTCG, ABC, Ars, Triple, Red, Master, Eligius, EMC, and Yourbtc.  EMC, Masterpool, and BTCG are very efficient.  Keep up the good work!

I know the payment methods are different, but efficiency is the most important important metric with my mining strategy.

Also, I bet you will attract more miners if you show the number of shares since your last block found...hurts nobody and you can get meds to control your anxiety "A huge reason for the switch to PPS was to reduce the mental fatigue of monitoring round lengths and freaking out everytime we had a long round."...  Not a problem for me...  Who cares why I want it...Eve and I pay fees and so will more miners...if you aren't a Moron, you will see it is win/win...sorry for the loaded statement, you are obviously smart but unreasonably obstinate...
