I totally love this! This is the most brilliant thing you've ever done, Rocks! Plus one zillion!

Thanks, Herschel! It will automatically be updated with each new thread also, so hopefully it will become more-and-more interesting in the upcoming years.

Honestly though, any "brilliance" (and I use that word with a grain of salt) was in the long-term planning of tagging the threads with years many moons ago - I knew something like this was eventually going to come out of it. I try to think ultra long-term for this website, and this post was actually intensely boring to produce - but hopefully its benefits will be reaped long into the future. One of my dreams is for it to go much further back into time than it currently does. Thanks again for your kind words

And you've contributed to it, quite a bit - probably as much as anyone on the entire website.

As of right now, this thread covers every year since my parents were born (May 5, 1923 - yes, same date, same year!), which is incredibly rewarding to me personally.

This is the most bittersweet moment I've experienced in a long time.

Now, every year since 1888 (with the exception of 1902).
