Kay, Don't feel bad - there was no contest, just a spontaneous desire on my part to talk up the 5000th comment and reward the commenter. (So much for strategy and execution savvy, LOL!) But you have picked up the spirit and technique of social media amazingly fast, and you should look forward to many fabulous discussions on your blog. Andrew, Needless to say you have been an enormous contributor to the conversation here, and I hope you know how much I appreciate it. We've had some amazing discussions on your blog as well, and it's been fun watching those conversations grow over the last several months or so. Thanks for your kind words! Olivia, Thank you so much – and it’s always great to hear from you, as we go back a long, long way in the blogosphere, don’t we?

Those are certainly worthwhile lessons, and I think that I have seen you weave just about every one of those lessons into your discussions at various points in time (except perhaps, the one which you learned from Cath, although she does it very cleverly herself). I think you yourself set a wonderful example for other bloggers in this regard, particularly in terms of the areas of being approachable and providing a thoughtful contribution toward discussions on other blogs. Brad,

I didn't even know there was a contest---kind of like life, yes? What you don't aim or plan for often turns out to be the perk. That said Brad you've taught me that social media is something requiring the same strategy and execution savvy that a business model strategy requires. Congratulations on 5000 and may there be 5000 more in 1/2 the time if took to get to this point....then 1/2 the time again and then....... K I can’t believe that I won!

Can we safely assume you, unlike Sammy Sosa, achieved your milestone without the help of banned substances? Caffeine is generally acceptable, especially for bloggers working against a deadline!
