This may sound like a funny thing to note two weeks after the fact, but in all the wreckage of November 2nd and the distractions of packing and proposal writing I neglected to mark the anniversary of this site, which fell on November 12th. (You can see the site’s first post here.)

That’s four years of writing Talking Points Memo.

Let me extend a very sincere and heartfelt note of appreciation to the readers of this site for making it possible for me to do this. Not only could this site not exist without its readers (that goes for every publication), but writing it would simply be impossible (and that’s far from true for every publication) since so many ideas and connections and factoids and insights come in from readers’ emails. If you haven’t written a blog, I’m not sure it’s possible to realize just how true that is.

I love magazine writing. But it’s very much a solitary and uni-directional process. And this is far from that. It’s not like letters-to-the-editor; it’s an integral part of how the site gets put together. You honor me when you stop by; and for that I am truly thankful.

Let me also thank Henry Copeland, Zander Dryer, Larry Glenn, Avi Zenilman and others who’ll remain nameless who’ve helped me, in various and innumerable ways, to put this site together.
