As soon as I noted problems with Haloscan’s comment counter, they went away at least for me.

But the real news in this post, is that according to Haloscan’s count, there have been 2999 comments made on this blog since I started using this service. So whoever wants to respond to this post can be number 3000.

This kind of response makes the whole thing worthwhile. This blog may not get the hit counts of an Instapundit, or even of some other Ozblogs, but I think it has some of the best discussion going anywhere in the blogworld.

Update I spoke/posted too soon! As of now, Haloscan appears to have chewed up the last 75 comments. Miserable! I must repeat my advice to keep a file copy of any comments you think worth preserving.
