    Post 700, For Real

    From the beginning of this blog, I have posted my thoughts about blogging about every one hundred posts.  That was complicated by Wordpress, whiich often skipped numbers in posting for its own reasons.  But now, Wordpress counts accurately for me, and though my last post was number 950, this one is close to 700.

    I have often thanked those who refer to me, through linking or quoting, but I have not often thanked those who actually read me.  By virtue of Quantcast, I have some idea of who reads me, and so I thank:

    That is a pretty prestigious group of readers, and so I am grateful for the reception that I have gotten on the web.  I try to do my best for readers, knowing that I can only cover a small subset of all that I am interested in in economics, finance, and business.

    Again, my thanks to all who read me.
