Thankyou & Best Wishes from Jennifer

There are people who visit this weblog everyday, some once a week, others pop-in after receiving my occasional e-news. Then there are those who just pass through having, for example, googled something like “global warming for dummies”.

Last month the site was visited by over 21,000 different people who downloaded over 110,000 individual pages and traffic is steadily growing.

To everyone, whether you have made me laugh or cringe, a big thankyou! I have learnt a lot about all sorts of things.

Also, a special thankyou to George McCallum in Berlin, Rick Ness in Jakarta, and Neil Hewitt in North Queensland, for the wonderful wildlife photographs you have shared with us over the last year.

    Rick Ness’s photo is of a Malayan Tapir (I think, (not having seen one myself). Whats’ the lastest on Rick’s situation?

    Thanks for the opportunity to engage on your blog Jennifer. I hope you and your loved ones have a nice Christmas and New Year. Yes, the striped possum wins I’m afraid.

    I hope everyone who contributes here has a safe and happy festive season and 2007 brings more harmony, less suffering and greater understanding.

    “global warming for dummies”. – it’s spirited, often too personalised and the major protagonists would have you believe that the evidence supports their position without doubt!
    However the debate on this blog is a lot of fun and you’ve performed a valuable community service Jennifer by providing this forum!
    Merry Christmas to all!

    Merry Christmas, Jen. Appreciate your blog and the work you put into it. And merry Christmas all you fellow commenters.

    Enjoy the accolades that come with winning the 2006 Inaugural Nexus 6 Best Australian Environmental Blog. 😉

    I’m off to sit around the family pool at the Sunshine Coast and do a whole lot of nothing, except maybe pop down and join the hippies at the Woodford Folk festival for NYE. I just need my tie-dyed “All the way with the IPA” T-shirt. Would go down a treat there.

    Season’s Greetings to all! Not everyone celebrates the same holidays, but whatever your creed or inclination, I wish the best to you all. And especially to our kind hostess, who identifies important issues and trends for the rest of us.
