David O’Halloran lectured me recently:

“Please follow Robin’s example, when you post a comment, do it under Rochester Smokeout. The Blog host should not post under anonymous.”

I’m sorry to disappoint you David: I do not post anonymous comments. I hope that my previous post helps you to believe me.

Forget O’Halloran… This post celebrates the one thousandth comment on this blog. For weeks I wondered what the one thousandth comment would read. Now I know:

“When are the voters going to smarten up and get rid of all of the political clowns?”

Too bad the anonymous author of the comment #1,000 couldn’t claim the prize without renouncing the anonymity…

As we reached the 1,000 comments mark, two other numbers deserve mentioning: the most views in one day (1,293) and the total views since June 1, 2012 (38,294).

Thank you, readers and commenters alike.
