This throway post has the distinction of being this site's 1,000th post in 8 months of existence. In that time, I have received nearly half a million unique visitors, and served up over 1 million pages (broke that mark three days ago).

The dKos community has contributed 29,903 comments in that time. (Update: it's over 30,000 now.)

For me, these are mind-numbing numbers. I am humbled and grateful beyond words.
