I've been meaning to thank everyone for submitting such great links for these every week. Not to sound all "big league" or whatever, but it's becoming increasingly difficult for me to keep track of the conversations taking place out there in the ether.

I'm not a big anniversary kind of guy, but this does give me an excuse to throw out some props to everyone who reads, links, talks about, or otherwise supports Ducksnorts. Some of you I've had the pleasure to meet personally, many more I've exchanged e-mails with. But the vast majority of you I do not know, and it blows me away that you keep coming back for more.
