250,000
I feel immensely proud. Some time yesterday afternoon around 2pm Bermuda time someone clicked on here to read my lastest epistle and unwittingly became my 250,000th page view, or hit. I remember stumbling across All Quiet in the East Stand in the late Spring of 2004 on a very slow dial-up computer in an apartment I used to live in Chicago and thinking, "wow this is my artery to SE7."
No more having to wait for lazy journalists to decide to update their websites, no more frequent long distance calls to mates, this was Daily Charlton news and opinion at a click of a mouse. And I joined in.
1,408 posts later and a lot has happened to me and to our beloved team but I'm still here, you're still here and thankfully the Addicks are too, if not quite in the same place as before, but then again nor am I. Thanks to everyone for making these pages part of your routine. ¶ 10:11
