Let's start with a bit of meta. Ever check your 'rec-roll'? No, not rick-roll! The list of diaries that you've recommended? You can view it by clicking on 'Recs' on your personal DKos page.
I clicked on mine a few days ago for the first time and almost fell out of my chair. The number blew me away (I even mentioned it in an e-mail to a fellow TC-er). With some trepidation, I clicked again today.
According to my personal rec-roll, I've now recommended 20,368 diaries.
I have no idea how far this goes back - with 50 listed per page it would take ... what? about 2,000 clicks to get back to the first page? Shudder! But I can't quit thinking about it... when does that list begin? From the first day I was 'eligible' to recommend a diary? Sometime in the Spring of '06?
Egads! That's still something like an average of 200 per week. And doesn't include the diaries I read and DON'T recommend (like this type of crapola).
Does this mean that I REALLY need to get a(nother) life?
