  1. Congratulations! I forgot how closely our birthdays coincide. I don't know how you manage to write interesting posts with such frequency... I dread to think what would happen if I wrote 20+ posts in a month. Here's wishing you many more happy years of blogging!

  2. You have done more than any other blogger to let the chemophobic alarmists know that they are are being hunted down and well..deconstructed. Great job, and keep up the good work.

  4. Congratulations!

    We should have anniversaries for blogs, like weddings. I propose the theme of the first year be "E-Mail."

    (The second year can be fonts, then guest posts, then fan-art...)
