Some time the last half-hour, this blog passed the milestone of one million hits. I’d like thank all of you who’ve visited in the last eighteen months and made it possible.
A much more important milestone is coming up soon — 5000 comments. (We have 4913 so far.) Amazingly, I don’t recall having had to delete a single one, with the exception of a few transparently obvious spams. No-one has been abusive or offensive or just horribly stupid. The quality of discussion here is fantastic, and I’ll always be grateful for the community that’s accumulated despite my terrible lack of focus on any one subject.
Again — thanks to you all!

Congratulations! Puts my piffling 264,000 in three years into perspective ;)
Out of curiosity, how many deleted comments did this post provoke? Or was it just mine? :)
Just your one. :-)
