A Whole Bunch of PT Visits

Posted 12 September 2005 by Wesley R. Elsberry

↗ The current version of this post is on the live site: https://pandasthumb.org/archives/2005/09/a-whole-bunch-o.html

A short while ago, the Panda’s Thumb logged its one millionth visit on the Sitemeter scale. Now, given the somewhat arbitrary measures of what constitutes a “visit” as opposed to a “page hit”, one million of these is a fuzzier concept than might be imagined. Call it a pseudo-quantity.

But what does matter is that we’re reaching a sizable community, and helping inform people concerning the ongoing threat to science education posed by antievolutionists of various stripes. We want to thank those of you who visit here who will now consider getting involved in the real work of protecting and enhancing good science education. We’ll continue to do our best to keep you informed, and sometimes amused.

Special bonus: NCSE’s 600^th Steve joined Project Steve within minutes of PT getting its millionth visit.

For further synchronicity, I just noticed that Pharyngula will recieve its two-millionth visitor (same fuzzy criteria) sometime in the next two hours.

Oh yeah? I'll bet that since the last 100 Steves signed up at least 3 biologists signed the "dissent from 'Darwinism'" statement. Maybe one of them even knew that he would be interpreted as rejecting common descent.

Ooh, will the two millionth visitor win a door prize? :-)

Keep up the good work. Reading your posts and (most of) the commentary on this site is a great antidote to the depression that sets in every time I read about ID getting attention as "science."

Ah, but how many then LEFT the "dissent from Darwinism" statement?

Well, I missed the big momment. But I waved my party noise maker as soon as I heard the good news.

Congratulations also to the "Project Steve" and to PZ.

Amazing coincidence! Must be the result of the intervention of an intelligent designer!
