[MOBY-dev] an easy way to see the input/output sizewhenusingjMoby?

[Iván Párraga García]

Ok, I think the misunderstanding was because the use of the word
"register"; I should have said something like "log" or "register
statistics at our servers". It could seem that I was trying to
"register" something at moby-central... I chose an ambiguous word, sorry.
