Okay, guys

The thing with that last thing, near as I can figure it, is that it compiles only the first 10,000 comments starting with the first post, not the most recent. So the past three years or so are a wash. ^^; I guess it wasn't particularly helpful in any way.

As a completely unrelated (but similarly unhelpful) observation: WTF WAS IT INT'L SET FIRE TO LANDMARKS WEEK.

Actually, I don't think that can possibly be right, because my two old usernames both appear on the list, but with single digit numbers of comments, which cannot be accurate. (Whereas this username is in the top 25, and it was created in fall 2003.)

Not that that helps figure out how the thing actually DOES work, but I almost left a comment wondering about that on the original post, since what I really couldn't figure out was how it could count only a single digit number of comments for my second username, and yet still count any comments at all from my first username, since I have never had any real period of overlap between two usernames at all; if it was only counting far enough back to see a handful of comments from username #2 then it should have missed username #1 entirely.

I guess it is a fushigi mystery. ^^;;

If you want a more accurate one, I think LJarchive also has this same feature.

WTF WAS IT INT'L SET FIRE TO LANDMARKS WEEK.

Wait...after the Seoul 600-year-old gate turned into ashes, what *else* has gone and burned up? (Or is it burned down? I cannot for the life of me tell when to apply the terms.)

Camden Market in London caught on fire Saturday night! It's particularly saddening when it's somewhere one's been. ^^;

Oh, buuu. I remember seeing images of the fire on TV, but since I was in the middle of sorting domestic stuff, it didn't register as much as the Korean gate, where I was actually sitting down.

I know the feeling about watching someplace you've been go and die. I stood outside that Korean gate several years ago on a trip to Seoul, and it was a magnificent thing to behold. How ironic that it survived World War II and then went up in peacetime, wtf.
