Once again, a reminder that this is just a numbers game, and therefore makes NO judgment about the quality of the discussions.
Also, any errors are my own. If I have overlooked anyone or anything, please let me know.

Hahaha, I had no idea I had the most posts in here. 2009 was a hell of a quiet year for me in the Close.

Great stats MM.

Excellent job, as always, MM! Thanks!

I'm actually in the stats?! This is cause for celebration! All figurative rounds on me!

Thanks for the stats, MM!

<ali needs to learn when to shut up>

Thanks, MM!

I'm with Av...
I had mostly avoided The Close this year.

neo, could I request one more stat, if you would?
Some of the topics this year were more of an informative type, rather than an interactive one. Is it possible to list threads by views, instead of posts? I think that may be a sign of popularity as well, in this forum, anyway...

This was one of the topics that got me into the Watch. I'll always have fond memories of it.

I was surprised to see one of my topics on the list. Pretty good for mostly lurking around I think.
