Some time during the past week, harddeadlines reached the milestones of 150,000 cumulative visits and 250,000 page views, according to statistics provided by SiteMeter.

Want to say a heartfelt thank you to all the folks who stop by this little corner of the Web. I have been honored to have had this opportunity to serve our community, and look forward to continuing to be part of Portsmouth's media environment.

Thanks, everybody.
