100,000 Visits

Sometime in the next hour (around 1500 hours), we will hit our 100,000th visitor. Last time we mentioned a milestone number (80,000 it was), some person tried to rip us a new one for thanking all of our readers, commentators and contributors. Here is the exchange from 25 November 2005:

• SCC,
  What do want, a Department Commendation?!!! You would deserve as much as any the other heros we see walking around with the ribbon they got for just being on the scene of some other coppers good arrest.
  ************************************
  (We Replied) No, we just wanted to say "thanks" to our readers. Where do you get off thinking we want something? It's tiny brains like yourself with limited reading comprehension skills who think that because people were raised right and thank those that help them build a successful enterprise, we're out to get something.
  
  You and your ilk aren't happy unless you're tearing down someone who is doing well. We don't see your website up anywhere providing coppers with a tiny little bit of entertainment (for free no less) in the midst of a morale death spiral. You aren't reading ads here. We aren't making a dime here. We have a HOBBY that (happily) happens to involve other copppers who can contribute at no cost, other than their time. And maybe, possibly, sometimes, we can change the way things are done (like the illegal details).
  
  We imagine your hobby involves a dark room, one hand, a blow up doll and mommy knocking at the door asking what you're doing in there. Go away troll.

So here we are, 19 days and 20,000 hits later and the numbers just keep going up. Despite the fact we might tempt the same troll to exercise his one handed typing techniques, we again say THANKS to everyone who visits, reads, comments, e-mails with ideas, whatever. Without you, we're just spouting nonsense into the electronic void that is the internet. With your visits, at least our nonsense might provide you with information to do your job, a thought that might help you avoid trouble, or a smile that sticks with you during an extremely long shift. Keep spreading the word people.

UPDATE: Got it about 1445 hours. So if you logged on then, it was probably you.
