Hey Seth, original author here.
Thanks for the deeper explanation into the history or Urchin, and also, that when it was a paid product you were still happy to recommend it. Thats exactly what we're hoping to get at Trak.io - yeah it's a paid product, but it brings a damn load more value to your business than the couple of bucks we're asking for a month.
Thanks for the good wishes too, I love how supportive HN can be!
