The approved comment odometer rolled over to 40,000 today with an observation from Robert Wightman.

A big “thank you” to everyone who has been contributing their thoughts to this site over the years. Some of you are more prolific than others, some of you just lurk in the shadows, some I meet when they say hello on the subway, some are mysteriously “out there” in the ether.

A dinner party that never seems to end — even if some guests don’t know when it’s time to leave!

All the best to my readers!
