At about 4:26PM PST, moderator Dave Stealey approved sent me notice (on my cellphone) of our 1 millionth comment on WUWT.
Who was it? See the screencap.
Comment 1 million is at the top of the list. Regular commenter “Jimbo” was oh so close, at comment 999,999.
My sincere thanks to Dave, who was watching for this when I couldn’t, as well as our entire WUWT moderation team, and of course, you the readers and commenters.
I’ll contact Poptech privately on where to send his coffee mug.
I wonder how much I missed by. Sigh
236,636 = Spam: A Lot!
I’m not sure if I’m the only one who missed it until now, but in case anyone else out there has been oblivious like me, we can order WUWT mugs:

But…but… my model said i won last Thursday at 3:02 pm.
Too funny! Thanks!
And many thanks to the mods, contributors, and Anthony,
Congrats, Poptech, and thanks for a couple useful computer tips you posted here.
As we are all contributors, we are all recipients of the coffee mug.
Be sure to put it on your resume.
Where do I download my certificate? I want to post a picture of it on FB.
If humans had 8 fingers and 8 toes, we would have celebrated the 262,144th comment. If we had 12 fingers and 12 toes we would have to wait for the 2,985,984th comment to celebrate. Personally, I wish humans had 16 fingers and 16 toes. Learning to use hexadecimal would be so much easier.
KnockJohn, thanks for the correction, that is what I get for being up for 24 hours straight.
See this is what you get for the arduous effort of compiling 1,100 sceptical papers. A coffee mug.
What, you don’t like me appending unrelated datasets? But, but, but I learned this trick from impeccable climate scientists!
A well earned well done to Poptech from me!
Congrats Poptech !
Amazing really.
I do hope this scam is fully crushed before we reach 2 million comments .
LOL and I was thinking about updating the list recently but was foiled by Climategate 3, so it will have to wait a little while. These two quotes are rather fitting right now, one from Climategate 3 and the other about my list,
“Analyses like these by people who don’t know the field are useless. A good example is Naomi Oreskes work.” – Tom Wigley, Fellow, American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
“Wow, the list is pretty impressive …It’s Oreskes done right.”
– Luboš Motl, Ph.D. Theoretical Physics
Great work guys. Keep it up
A million Thanks! to all of the WUWT moderators, for doing what Y’all do so well!
