I know you. Mentioning my table was a test to see if I read your blogs and also to extract a comment so you can add it to your number of comments. Well consider this . I do read them occasionally, but this is not a comment and shouldn't be misconstrued as one. Happy belated birthday. You are catching up to me.

This blog is so revolutinary that it requires us to create a new CCC Category: Most Lines. It is a challenge to keep up. That Klein boy is quite fecund!
Posted by Comment Counting Commissioner | April 17th, 2009 05:45:45 PM
As wonderful as the Comment Counting Commissioner may think the number of lines in a blog comment are, the officials still rule a comment a comment, no matter how many lines.
Number of lines is not an official statistic for the blogs. Comments remain the #1 official statistic.
One may, if they choose, keep their own statistics, as desired.
