Third Birthday Contest: The Winner!
The winner of this site’s Third Birthday Contest is in: It’s my fellow blogger Diana B., whose guess of 9,876 was 190 away from the correct total: This site has had 9,686 comments since its launch three years ago.
Rounding out the top 5:
- 2nd place: M Smith (286 away)
- 3rd place: Adam Wallace (314 away)
- 4th place: Nate Stainbrook (514 away)
- 5th place: Jeff Foster (814 away)
There have been 20,054 spam comments, too, which is why I made the contest specific to non-spam comments.
We’re getting closer to the 10,00o comment mark. Perhaps we should do another contest for that!
Blame it on whatever you like! Fact is, my reason is simple enough: I have no interest in any secular music.

If you’ll just tell us what you were going to guess, perhaps we could still declare you the winner.

Nice try.
But as I mentioned in the comments on the entry thread, the contest is now closed.
