A Year Ago Today. The one-year anniversary of The Eclectic Econoclast

It has been a year since I started writing The Eclectic Econoclast (originally called "The Econoclast"). I had no idea it would evolve into the blog it has become. I figured I would write maybe one or two things a week, if that. In fact, I referred to it as a "bloggette" initially.

Many thanks to everyone who has read the blog (the hit count is about 10 times higher than I ever imagined it might be). Also, I would like to thank everyone who has contributed to and assisted with the blog, with special thanks to:

• Tyler Cowen, who encouraged me to start the blog.
• Craig Newmark, who provided considerable assistance when I first started writing the blog and who warned me that blogging can be addictive.
• John Chilton
• Brian Ferguson
• Phil Miller
• King Banaian
• Bill Sjolstrom
• Kip Esquire
• Tom Hanna
• Skip Sauer
• Frank Zappa
• Tom Luongo
• James Reese
• Ben Muse
• BenS
• Jack
• Ezra
• JJ
• Sean
• JAB
• Ian
• Rodney
• Scoop
• CMT

and many, many others.
