Time Wastage in Review
As I did last year, I spent some time today searching through the dusty recesses of web-goddess to compile the list of top commenters. As always, I was far and away the leader... but the rest of the list might surprise you. Read on to see where you ended up!

Again, these are totally unscientific and relied upon you using the same name every time you posted. (Or at least something that I could identify as you.) If you provided a URL I've linked it to your name. Here's the list of everyone who's made more than ten comments here in the past year:

Name	Comments
Me	894
Moire	179
Kristen	167
Tricia	159
Brigita	144
Robert	110
Jenny	103
Amy (Gadgetgirl)	88
Dan	77
Max	64
Amy (my sister)	62
Kel	59
Claire	52
Ferret	48
Mia	48
Jeff	44
RDH (my Dad)	44
Martin	38
Stefanie	38
Stairs	35
Tracey	31
John	29
Grandpa Joe	23
Adrien	22
Jann	20
Kevin	20
Nora	20
Major	18
Leigh-Anne	16
Steve	14
Frances	13
Yasmin	10

There were a lot of folks on the cusp so it's possible a few more folks will make the list by New Year's. Of course, what you're really interested in is the All-Time Web-Goddess Commenter Leaderboard. Here's the top 10 (myself excluded):

Name	Comments
Brigita	802
Moire	554
Tricia	347
Kristen	331
Max	212
Martin	194
Jenny	192
Amy (my sister)	188
Jann	154
Claire	148

To be honest, I was surprised that there were any men in there at all! Then I discovered if you include the next ten on the list, the percentage goes 50/50 (Ferret, John, Robert, Dan, my Dad, Psorr, and Bill). That's a lot more balanced than I expected. I often wonder if the site comes off as too girly. I guess not! :)

i'm happy to see that i've been restraining myself a bit this year and letting other folks get a word or three in edgewise. ;)

Woo-hoo! Top 5 in the All-Time Commenters! I'm closing in on you, Kristen--2004 will be MY year...mwahahahahaha! :-)

Kris, I don't think your site is too girly at all--if anything, I think it's a model of how to build a "community" of interactive readers who feel comfortable posting comments and responding to one another. Kudos to you!

although i am a relative newcomer to the site, i know a bunch of you from my glory days of puking in the bushes and setting my dorm room on fire. and i am determined to make the list!

I knew I'd been slacking this year comment-wise, but I didn't realise how much until I saw these figures.

Note to self: must do better in 2004.

You're gettin' close, Eileen! :)

Thanks for the props, Max. Sometimes I just get worried that posts about crafts and feminist rants will paint me into a girls-only corner.
» Kris [www] » 2003-12-13 12:07:17

wow, i didn't even know i had that many.
» yasmin [www] » 2003-12-14 06:39:03

Wow. 48, huh. So this is 49???

I haven't even posted that many times on my current site. That's so sad.

This is where my weblog goes to die. Every post has a permanent home, so this is where you should link if you're so inclined.

"RunningBlog" refers to posts related to running that are cross-posted over at geekgirlrunner.

"Moblog" refers to posts and images posted directly from my mobile phone.

"PW Blog" refers to posts recovered from my very first weblog, which dealt with news related to my college dorm.
