Just a brief note to commemorate a milestone here at Hit & Run: We just cracked the 10,000 comment barrier. Thanks to all readers–even or perhaps especially the bilious detractors who question our facts, perspective, and sanity–who have offered up opinions since the blog's debut in December.

    hey. What do I win for being the 10,000th posting?

  2. geophile   22 years ago

    A hearty “thanks” and a kick in the nuts.

  3. Tuning Spork   22 years ago

    If someone only posts a question, does it count as a comment?

  4. Jack S.   22 years ago

    Congrats!

    To many more.

  5. joe   22 years ago

    “the bilious detractors who question our facts, perspective, and sanity” Yeah – I hate those guys! 😉

    Cheers!

  6. Sven   22 years ago

    What the hell are you talking about? This is no cause for celebration. We still have troops in Iraq, and you’re spouting off about comments? Get a real job, you nutcase.

  7. david f   22 years ago

    huh?

    but all work and no play…

  8. Russ   22 years ago

    Where exactly is the proof that 10,000 comments have been posted? Am I just supposed to take this as gospel truth?

  9. Stretch Cannonbury   22 years ago

    Nick Gillespie is a dissembling psychopath. Do you expect me to believe this 10,000-comments propaganda? That post reminds me of something the 1950s-era Soviet Union would announce – we have exceeded our 5-year quota of libbie commenting!

    “Noble comment-makers have, in the spirit of of sidewalk-privatizers the world over, demonstrated to the world the superiority of the libertarian message board system!”

    Just kidding. Congratulations on a great site.

  10. Anonymous   22 years ago

    Wow! This guy is OLD!

  11. J.Leno   22 years ago

    Best wishes to Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan. Alan Greenspan is going to have surgery on his enlarged prostate. Doctors say they?re going to reduce it by one-quarter of a percentage point.

  12. Anonymous   22 years ago

    odometer watching are we? remember to look out the window once in awhile 😀 the car’s my destination, cheers!

  13. Jim N   22 years ago

    Reason is popular? The free market has gone too far.

  14. Rick Barton   22 years ago

    I possess issues of Reason going back to 1971.
    I can’t help but believe that this wonderful blend of technology and the play of ideas is the realization of foresight and principle that have consistantly appeared in Reason throughout the years. Thank you for this community of the mind. Kudos Reason!
