It’s that time of year again!<\/p>\n

The shortlist of my favourite blog comments for the year is down to 33 entries, and as soon as I’ve managed to whittle it down to 12, we will be ready for a vote!<\/p>\n

I had a blast reading through all the archives. I really do have amazing commenters, and I’m very proud of this community of clever, insightful, and very very funny people. Many, many thanks to everyone<\/b><\/i> who’s read and commented – you are the reason I love blogging so much! Making the final cut is going to be very difficult indeed – not to mention the fact that any comments made this week will also count, so there could be a late flurry of even more contenders…<\/p>\n

Anyway, before announcing the final 12 contenders for the readers’ vote, I’ve introduced a couple of extra prizes this year! I’ve tallied up the comments and posts of the week, to see who was the most prolific in each category, and the results are below.<\/p>\n

The winner of each category gets a $20 (Canadian) Amazon gift certificate, as well as 2010 Bragging Rights (<\/b>Quantitative)<\/b>!<\/b><\/div>\n

Drumroll please…<\/p>\n

Most “Comment of the Week” wins:<\/b><\/div>\n

And, to make sure I honour everyone who won bragging rights this year, the other winners (who I couldn’t include above without making the charts look ridiculous) were as follows:<\/p>\n
