Yes, I have once again indulged my penchant for Spoonerisms: I mean "milestones".

So now, it's three thousand. I've apparently felt the need to open my mouth (in print) more than three times a day, on average, for almost two and a half years.

Why?

Because I might be able to help someone, even if only by saying I'm listening?

Because so many people limit themselves to interacting on a computer screen?

Because the world is full of people in pain, and the only way I know to affect that is one person at a time?

For the cynics among you, because it makes me feel good about myself?

Well, yeah.
