Return of the Comment King/Queen Awards

Okay, I'm making this official. Starting with the effective date of March 30th, 2008, I am continuing with the comment king/queen awards that I had to put on hold, as I wrote about in the last comment king/queen award announcement.

All you have to do is leave a comment, even a search engine optimized comment, on a post anywhere on the blog. Please leave a signature within your comments. I don't want to spend more time figuring out who you are than writing the next announcement.

I will tally the number of comments per person on Sunday, April 6th, after 4 pm local time. There will be no ties — I am the tiebreaker.
