Like Turtle, I follow the Hare...

So Pike had this post where she followed one of those "do this, then tag X people" things.

“Go back to your first few posts. Who was the first person to EVER comment on your blog? Call them out, link that post and thank them! Then tag a few folks to see who they call out.” - Cait at One Among Many

Well, I can't really resist these kinds of things, so I guess I'll play along, since Pike tagged "anyone that would participate".

Well, looking back at the first month's worth of posts on SES, I've decided that I was a terrible writer back then. It's a wonder anyone read SES back then, and it amazes me the traffic it has to this day - nowhere near the real bloggers of our time, like Pike and BRK, but I honestly never thought I'd see my SiteMeter creep above 10,000.

But enough starry-eyed admiration of my own product. I've a task to fulfill!

My first commenter was none other than Pike herself, on my second post.

Pike said...
"I am in love with the names of your pets, you have no idea XD

One of my hunters has three pets named after the three Brothers Karamazov, because I'm a dork."

It's a shame that the pets she references are no longer with us - Tassadar, Fenix, and Arcturus have moved on to greener pastures - the harsh arctic winds of Northrend were just too much for them.

But I wish to thank Pike, as well as BRK and Mirshalak, for being the original inspiration for SES. It's been a wild ride, but I love being, at least in some vein, a small fragment of knowledge that helps make up the wider compendium of Hunter blogging knowledge.
