My three thousandth blog entry!

This is the three thousandth blog entry that I have written since I first started this blog back on 18th September 2008!


In that first entry I wrote the following:
I intend to share my thoughts on wargaming (and other related matters that crop up) with a wider audience ... probably much to the relief of my wife and wargaming colleagues. So watch this space ... and come prepared to be bored!
Well eight years on I still have thoughts to share, and judging by the number of 'hits' my blog gets each day, I've not been too boring ... yet!

    Bob,
    Rather than congratulate you merely on your number of entries, I would compliment you on the quality of the entries on your blog and your generosity in making your various rules freely available.
    Regards,
    Arthur

      Coming from you, that is much appreciated praise indeed! I just try my best ... and it seems to appeal to quite a few people.

    Hi Bob

    Well done, what an achievement.

    Also 308 followers and 1,578,974 page views is pretty impressive too.

    Something for the rest of us to aim for

    regards

    Paul

    Hi Bob, I check in on your posts frequently, and they remain a source of inspiration, and at times amusement! Keep up,the good work, as Chairman Mao never said, "every 3,000 posts begins with a single word, "

      Andy McMaster,

      I am minded that Stalin once commented that 'quantity has a quality all of its own'. I just try to achieve both at the same time.

      Pete.,

      Thanks for your congratulations. It helps to be retired, as I have the time to sit and think before I write ... and writing also helps to stop my old brain from seizing up!

      Jonathan Freitag,

      I never expected to write 100 blog entries, let alone 3,000!

      I find that trying to write something each day is a great way to marshal my thoughts about wargaming, military history, and life in general.

      All the best,
