What a dishonest way to present figures, why I'm not surprised.
Your months blocs are not proportional.

Should you make a graph with the number-of-posts axis starting at 0 (and not 1,500) the September peak would not look like if it was twice as large as June, when June represents in fact 80% of September.

I leave it to your imagination what that means in number of visitors and pageviews.

Well yeah, because it says absolutely nothing about it.

And what about previous years?

Do we also have to leave to our imagination if there were not similar season peak in September 2003 or 2004 with no server slowdowns?

Who do you think we are to believe such bullshit?
Republican voters?
