I can’t believe it, but a few minutes ago I got a subscription notice, and, checking the figures since we were close to the Magic Number, saw this:
Three things:
- I’m amazed and delighted.
- I’m going to watch that figure for a while, for occasionally the numbers drop a wee bit because of either unsubscribing or WordPress’s data systems.
- I have the name of the person who subscribed right when it ticked over to 50K. Now I can’t be absolutely sure that that person is #50,000, but I planned to offer a prize to the person who appeared to bring us to that goal. I didn’t want to say that in advance because it’s a bogus way to boost subscriptions. But if the number stays at 50K or above, I’ll reveal the prize and inform the person (I can’t reveal names without permission).
Congratulations!!
Congratulations!
Way to go and on to 100,000.
Bloody well done! You deserve it.
Excellent!
This cat wants to give you a high five:

Shouldn’t the first subscriber to this website – not a blog – get a pint of Landlord?
Ok your alls turn to drop some WEIT-nuggets.
Fine achievement and you have earned it. One of my favourite sites.
Congratulations! WEIT is my favorite web site.
Well done, PCC(E)
Let’s all look forward to number 100k!
P.S. Jerry must have been excited – I got 3 copies of that New Post.
Same here. There seems to be a lot of double-posts coming out of the machinery. Double-tweets too.
O Joy! That’s wonderful news and a well-deserved milestone, Jerry.
I hope you will get a plaque made up of that magic number.
Alright!!! You have the population of a decent-sized city following you.
Would a population of 40,000 people be an indecent size city? 😉
I would label 50K population as a small city or large town.
Congratulations! The recognition is well- deserved.
Congrats, boss!
So what’s to plotz about now?
Congrats Jerry. I can’t tell you how much I enjoy reading your posts…thank you for your clarity in a confused world.
Fabulous!! Now time to tackle the next 50 k.
Really, jolly well done. Many felicitations, old bean!
Proficiat! (adding to the multicultural response)
Congratulations!
Congratulations. How about a Country by country breakdown.
Nice! Congratulations!!
This is great! A happy day for you and all of us, who love this site.
Congratulations, and cats all around!
Sorry I haven’t subscribed myself, but I don’t use my email for anything but business. You don’t need my help 🙂
Congratulations on a site well done. Glad to be a part of the 50000!
Wow! 50,000 people with such excellent good taste. There’s hope for the world after all!
Way to go, Jerry!
Well done Jerry. For some reason quite beyond my technical understanding I received your posting in triplicate. One better than New York, New York!!
Congratulations Jerry!
That last gif is amusing and disturbing.
I think I’m going to have nightmares.
Congratulations!!!
Very Nice – Congratulations!
Woo hoo, Dr. Coyne! Here’s to the next 50,000!
Darn. I was holding out to be 50T, but got busy today. Now I have to wait until it nears 100T.
Well done PCC(E)!
Congrats!🎈
Belated congratulations (it’s been a busy weekend).
