Ryan, this ought to be a front-page article. This needs to be front and center. Not only did he minimize (by an enormous amount) the amount of reach RTH has, but he called it an "adventure". He belittled it.
RTH is by no means an "adventure". If his stats on The Spec's page views are accurate, RTH gets about 10% of the page views that The Spec does - that's a huge number, when you consider that RTH is run entirely by citizens, for no profit, while The Spec is a multi-million dollar corporation!
Screenlies, the site traffic report hasn't been available since the site was moved over to the new platform (Ryan, please install GA, I have an account if you need me to send you the script, it's a 5 minute install). But the page views were very high. And please note that "hits" is different than page views, if we counted hits, RTH would be in the millions per month.
If you wanted third-party confirmation, you could try a service like Compete. When comparing RTH to The Spec you can't see page views (unless you've got a Pro account), but you can see visitors. For instance, in 10/2009, according to Compete RTH got 3,479 unique visitors, while The Spec got 26,875. If those numbers are accurate (and I'm sure they're not, but they're useful for comparison), RTH got about 13% of the visitors that The Spec got, which is actually more page views than we're talking about here.
In other months, the numbers are even better. In 03/2009, RTH got 20% of the unique visitors that The Spec received. Twenty percent is HUGE when you consider the vast difference between these organizations.
