« Q & BA
Update: More on Randi »

2,000,000

I note in passing that the sitemeter on this blog (on the right sidebar, down a bit) informs me that I just had the two millionth visitor to BA.

Wow.

I wrote about getting the 500,000th visitor on March 22, 2006. It took a little less than a year to get there, and now less than a year later we’re at 2,000,000. I just want to thank those folks who come here and read my blatherings. New things are afoot, of course, with more planned. Let’s see how high we can crank that meter.

Don’t forget to submit questions for "Q & BA"!

    Don’t forget readers who subscribe to your RSS feed … you probably have a lot more than 2,000,000 “reads”.

    Your site is one of the most interesting on the web. I visit your site almost every time I fire up the internet. I usually see what you and the Amazing Randi have to say before anything else. If I have time left I’ll visit some other sites.
    Thanks. To you both.

    P.S. I visit woo-woo and Creationist sites fairly frequently too. I adopt the advice to “keep your friends close and your enemies closer”. I watch the worst of the anti-science sites to see what new atrocities they’re preparing to hurl at this, our desperately fragile world.

    Please continue to warn us of the mad agenda of these deluded fanatics. Never has humanity had so much to lose at the hands of so badly deluded few.

    At this rate, quadrupeling each year, you should reach planatary saturation in slightly less than six more years. Don’t forget us little folks when you’re a giant, BA.

    Congrats, Dr. BA! You so totally rock!

    After six months, I’m catching up quickly though… I’m at like 18,000. Ok, maybe “catching up quickly” wasn’t the most accurate description…

    Kisses to you Dr. BA!

    Janie and Kate
