A milestone for the Wonk yesterday: 10,000 comments submitted from readers!
The 10,000th comment came from Major Lemon who asked whether Semipalatinsk stills glows in the dark. Something oddly appropriate about that…
So hats off to Jeffrey who started this blog (and whose it still is, after all) but, most of all to you, our readers. I’m sure that all those who have ever blogged here would agree what a great readership you are and what a privilege it is to blog here.

This is to thank all those – authors and commentators – who spend time and energy on this blog to the benefit of the strategic community as a whole.
Also, this is because I want to be the 10.001st.

Exciting indeed.
Jeffrey and I are currently drafting development ideas for Wonk 3.0 … we’re focusing on some community tools like threaded commenting and possibly hosting multiple author/topic blogs here as well.
Please leave a comment here if you have suggestions or ideas.

Congratulations-especially to Mr.Lewis. One suggestion: I like the blog the way it is-pure and simple design,thougtful articels and comments (at least almost always)!
At least from my point of view: kepp it that way!
Yours

10,000? Really? Congratulations. But the IAEA says you don’t have any, and Curveball, the DIA and Doug Feith said you had 10,000,000.

“Comments submitted” is accurate, because that does not reflect comments censored.

Care to disclose the number of comments posted, So we can gauge the caliber of your censorship? Come on, just relax, this is not People’s Daily.

No of course not, it is a wonderful blog, but I have had a couple of non-libelous comments that did not appear.
Major Lemon | January 31, 2009
Well, here’s to the next 10,000!

James, did I win that romantic weekend for 2 at White Sands Missile Range? If the command bunker is fully booked then I don’t mind settling for a Porsche 911.
