WNU Editor: A few years ago I put a counter on this blog to monitor traffic. I just noticed tonight that it has passed the ten million mark. (this counter does not include the first 6 years of this blog). Google tells me that WNU has received over 25 million page views during the lifespan of this blog .... which (to me) is a more accurate read on this blog's traffic and impact. To say that I am humbled by this recognition is an understatement. After-all .... I first started this blog to practice my English, and to record my thoughts and observations. I never expected anyone to pay attention, and I certainly never expected the journey that it has put me on. And what a journey it has been. 93,000 posts. Tens of thousands of comments. The making of many friends and contacts. And learning a lot about the world in the process. So .... it is fitting that I should say thank-you to everyone for being supportive of this blog. To read what I write. To send me a comment or two. To criticize me here. To praise me there. To give me a lead on a good story. To share your own thoughts and understandings. Yup .... for someone like me .... it has been (and is) a truly humbling experience. So again .... to everyone .... thank-you.
