O&M went live April 25, 2006. Our inaugural post said: “Welcome to all readers. (Hopefully the plural is appropriate.)” Since then we’ve spread our message to literally tens of people around the world. Actually, the numbers aren’t bad: over these four years we’ve delivered 2,247 posts and 6,036 comments to 797,965 unique visitors (based on IP address). The comments are of consistently high quality too. Thanks to all current and former guest bloggers, commenters, pingbackers, lurkers, and other friends.

For a blast from the past, why not try our random post link? You never know what you’ll find. . . .

Happy birthday guys! I can’t believe you’re four. You don’t look a day over three.

Congrats! This one of the very best economics blogs I know!

Btw, many people read the blog primarily via a feed reader, so we would probably not show up in your visitor statistics.

I’ve said it to clients, colleagues, and anyone else who would listen: this blog is THE best on the ‘Net, bar none. It is eclectic, well-written, and insightful. Its quality is predictable, but its content isn’t. That is why its top spot on my Google home page is the first place I look every time I’m there, which is several times a day. O&M is the greatest source of continuing professional education on the planet. Wow.

Kudos to the Four Principals: Nicolai, Peter, Dick, and Lasse. And thanks from the bottom of my heart for all that you have taught me. You guys are the best.

Let me add my congratulations to the pile. You’ve become an essential stop on the Web.

Thanks everybody for the kind words. (Warren, where do I send the check?)

On behalf of the entire O&M team, let me say that we sure have fun doing this!
