14,000,000

One hour ago, our blog passed the 14,000,000 viewer. The fact that we only recently passed the 13,000,000 viewer mark reflects the impressive growth of this blog. Congratulations everyone. Now if we could only get .000001 of those viewers to vote for us on the ABA blog competition we could crush the competition! If you (are any distant relative, incompetent ward, or pet) has not voted, you can vote here and cast your vote today!

In the last twenty-four hours, our five biggest international sources for readers became from Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Sweden, Germany, Philippines, India, Mexico, and France (in that order with Canada as the number one contributing country). We continue to hover around 10th in the most popular legal worlds in the world, according to AVVO.

I wanted to thank our weekend bloggers: David Drumm, Mark Esposito, Gene Howington, Michael Spindell, Eliane Magliaro, Mike Appleton, and Larry Rafferty. I wanted to particularly thank our contributors. This blog offers a unique mix of views from people committed to civil discussion of the major issues of our time. While we often disagree, we offer a place for reasonable and respectful debate. I am incredibly grateful to all of our regulars. In the last 24 hours, the most active commentators were (starting with the highest appearance) Idealist707, Nick Spinelli, Shano, Anonymously Yours, Gene H, Elaine M, and Justagurlinseattle.

Thanks again everyone and congratulations on reaching another milestone!
