Per Neil over at Citizen of the Month, today is “Thank your first commenter day.”

So, thanks to you, Dan! You left my very first comment on this blog way back in April of 2005!

Who knows if Dan ever came back. Sure doesn’t seem like it, but thanks anyway.

And super thanks to those of you who comment regularly. Like Neil says, if there’s no comments it sort of feels like I’m talking to myself in a big empty stadium.

But that’s OK too, I guess, since I write this mostly just for me. It’s nice to be able to look back and see how far I’ve come.
