Thank-you

MO enjoyed its biggest day of traffic by far yesterday.

I realize that many may find these numbers insignificant, but I averaged between 35 and 40 unique views per day for the six months ending on 12/31/03. The 513 I had yesterday would have been, by a fair amount, the busiest WEEK in the history of this site before 2004.

In addition to a growing number of regular readers, yesterday brought a number of links from other sites:

• Darren Kaplan pointed me out to his readers on a travel day.
• Hell in a Handbasket, The Spoons Experience, and Random Nuclear Strikes linked to my post on the XM8.
• Hell in a Handbasket linked to (and provided the imputes for) my post about the original reliability claims made about the M16.
• Gulf War Online linked to my post about the Apache video.

Thanks to all who linked, read, and commented. It’s very rewarding.
