I just checked my Google Analytics statistics for A Mild Voice of Reason. When benchmarked against other personal blogs, this one significantly outperforms the median on just about every measure, from page views to unique visitors to duration-of-visit. 

Most interesting, an absolute majority of incoming site traffic comes from visitors directly typing “gillikin.org” into their browser bars.  This suggests a loyal following.  So to those of you who pay attention … thank you.
