Why do you do these things? Counters are for counting normal visitors, not for counting the automated hits of clueless people. Do you not know how this adds a lot of work load to a server? Scripts like this, if used effectively, can temporarily render some Internet connections unuseable.

In my opinion, you should be terribly ashamed. Not because you launched yet another script that uses a lot of bandwidth for the wrong reasons, but because you have set your example string to this site's url. Please realize that some people who don't know how it works might copy your example literally, and then execute it. This would generate a thousand hits on our beloved monastery - with what purpose? Increasing a counter? The (fortunately temporary) side effect would be a slower monastery.

Next time, please don't post scripts that can do harm. And if you insist on posting, use a non-existing url in your example.
