I’m so exhausted that all I can post is a sort of a riddle:
Can anybody guess how many comments this blog gets per month?
Clarifications: My comments are included in the statistic. I have no idea how to separate them.

Well, this is greatly dependant on how much you blog and want to piss people off. You have been blogging a lot more since Jan 2011 and you can provoke quite the backlash if you want to.

I would guess between 200-300 a week. So between 800-1200 a month? Of course the month that had the co-sleeping entry is going to be super high! That month must have had easily 2000 comments! 🙂

Forty-two.
That’s probably not the real answer, but it is the universal answer.

Per month?? Not to tout my own horn, but I get more than that in a day. 🙂

Like I said, it’s not the real answer. But it’s the universal answer, and I’m burned out on physics. At this point even the capitol of Pennsylvania is forty-two.

Maybe I should adopt this 42 method to essay grading. Just give them all 42 per cent and be done with it! 🙂
I’m kidding, everybody!

And my colleague, Professor F-B wins! Because he is the closest to the actual number. It’s 3,300 per month.
What people don’t know is that there are many comments that I don’t allow to go through, so they never appear. This was a riddle with a twist.

Okay, so this blog has exactly 3128 posts with 29938 comments and has been operating for 33 months (since may 2009). That means there are 907.21 posts per month! Though the number of posts and comments have been rising sharply since end of 2010/begining 2011.

You mean comments per month, not posts, right? Even I couldn’t write 900 posts per month. 🙂

It only recognizes visible comments though.
