... according to this article by Rosslyn Beeby in the Canberra Times:

Congratulations, Greg! You deserve every one of them.

Now Greg, what have we told you about quote mining?

That can't be right. Some of them must be duplicates.

Good to know I'm in such exclusive company.

I guess all 18 of us should get together for a party somewhere... Maybe a Denny's would suffice.
Posted by: Dan J | September 17, 2008 3:17 PM
Why don't all 18 of us introduce ourselves.

He's probably spamming himself with robot readers.

We could just count off.
Posted by: Stephanie Z | September 17, 2008 3:35 PM
Does that count all of my pseudonyms separately?

I went there thinking the writer was confusing the set of regular commenters with the set of readers, at something like 1:100.
Posted by: decrepitoldfool | September 17, 2008 4:08 PM
Is that 18 reader's per day? Damn, you're a big dog.

I'm trying to remember the last time I personally made up 5.6% of a demographic...
Posted by: Aaron Golas | September 17, 2008 4:23 PM
The article must have been updated as it now state that you have 1800 readers, that would be a big party.
Posted by: EricJuve | September 17, 2008 4:24 PM
Posted by: Virgil Samms | September 17, 2008 4:31 PM
Of course, I get it now.
Posted by: EricJuve | September 17, 2008 4:48 PM
Elipses, actually. He was just demonstrating that he knows how they work. [Joke intended for approximately three people.]
Posted by: Stephanie Z | September 17, 2008 5:06 PM
I've got ellipses ... and I know how to use them!
Posted by: Greg Laden | September 17, 2008 5:11 PM
Wait, there's only 17 comments.
Okay, better now.
Posted by: Lorne | September 17, 2008 5:22 PM
Greg, today you can even spell them better than I can.

Or maybe not.
Posted by: Dan J | September 17, 2008 6:29 PM
I'm deeply offended that they didn't even mention me or Deltoid, two, you know, Australian Science Bloggers? But maybe that's just the old capital city rivalry coming up again...
Posted by: John S. Wilkins | September 17, 2008 7:03 PM
ACTUALLY the article states that you have...
"a daily average of around 1800 daily readers."
It's ok. You're just an Anthropologist and you are within two orders of magnitude. That�s pretty close in your field. Almost spot on. Nice going!

@ Joe... too true! lol.
@ Greg, congratz on being the slow news day filler.

But they did mention three Australian nature bloggers ...
