Every November 1, this operation becomes one year older. It used to be a bigger deal, in part because the prospect of surviving from one year to the next once was more tenuous than it is now.

Every November 1, I still take a minute to point out that, yes, it’s the anniversary of the launch of the site. We’re now 11.

Five years from driving, seven years from voting, 10 years from drinking, we plan to keep rolling along for another 11 years, and hopefully many more.

Whether you found us 11 years ago or 11 hours ago, you’re always welcome here. And you’re guaranteed to get your money’s worth.
