Heading for half a million comments

Who will it be? It is likely to happen in the next 12-24 hours.

Between the hundreds of spam comments we get daily, and regular comments, I’d just like to say thanks to the moderation team.

Obviously with this excessive bandwidth usage, you will need to be throttled down… in the interest of net neutrality of course.

Here goes my shot:
Merry Christmas to Anthony and the mod team!
Have a prosperous and successful 2011

Just went round the house and grounds to make sure all the old horseshoes were turned up for luck. One in particular. An old workhorse shoe. It measures nearly 7 1/2 inches across its widest part. There is an old snaffle bit to match that measures 7 inches across. Now that’s a big horse with a big mouth.
Wishing that all your horseshoes are turned up this holiday season.

Is that a half a million in real numbers or Michael Mann numbers?

Merrick, I was number 2. Been called that too. But only if you flame my already red head.

Merry Xmas one and all!

Merry Christmas , everyone . Does anyone want a good eggnog recipe ? If you make it tomorrow , it’ll be ok for Christmas – it really needs to sit for a couple of days to mellow . Let me know within an hour , as I’m up to my ears with last minute stuff .

Fantastic job on getting 500,000 comments! I’ve read a lot of them and I think you’re in good company of many intelligent people from all walks of life!

Getting my bid in

December 22, 2010 2:09 pm

I guess I’ll have to refrain from posting comments in the next 24 hours. Wouldn’t want to post something dumb and have it be the 500,000th comment.
Except if Anthony decides to have a Seasons Greeting thread. Then I’ll be willing to post a Happy Holidays, etc., to all those who have taken the time to read my posts this year, and to all who have commented here.

Well, here’s my contribution, however small.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Anthony and all the moderators and loads of appreciation for all the work that you do. This site is terrific and I honestly don’t go for more than two days without visiting it.
Thanks again.

Thanks to the Moderators for keeping the discussion open and polite.
Great site! There is always something interesting to check out. There is a real effort to include scientific papers that are pertinent regardless of the data or conclusion. Appreciate the efforts of the contributors to explain the nuisances of the issues and the analysis.
Hope things are going well for you Anthony.
Merry Christmas to all.

Thank you, Rev, for all your incredibly gifted work. Best Christmas wishes to you, yours, the mods, and all those little people who chimed in half a million comments. And to the trolls, who helped with the count if not the content.
