There's that whole 'tooting your own horn' thing that franksolich keeps mentioning.

It's been a fun ride.  Let's keep it that way. :-)

Every single one I have come across has been golden. Congrats on your first 29,000 !

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Congratulations!

I was here when you approached 29,000, and debated with myself whether or not to start an adulatory thread on it once you hit it.

But then I figured no, the guy's too modest and would be embarrassed, so I didn't.

It's been a great four and a half years, and you're part of the reason why!
