 * I host an internal intranet and am using the page counts to track stats.
 * Wondering if you could add feature to ignore certain users? I know I could add
   code before any of your update_post_meta commands to check user ID and say
 * $user_object = get_userdata( $user_id );
 * if ( $user_id == 1 ) {} else { … proceed to update_post_meta
 * Was just more curious if you could add a feature in the back where you could 
   list usernames or ID’s of users you don’t want to count views for?
 * If not I just keep manually updating in post_meta table

 * Sorry this feature seems very specific to your own needs.
 * Unlikely, I will add it in because that is how plugins get bloated. I want to
   keep this one as simple as possible.
