It's been a great year for comments, with a new system encouraging the wheat to be wheatier and hiding the chaff from our view. We've seen old friends return, new voices emerge, and a lot of beer knowledge spread. Good work Minardis. Things have changed, as they always do, but overall for the better. Quality and quantity has improved, overall, and finding a COTD is getting easier. Will things transform again, possibly without warning? Almost certainly. And the fitting end to 2009? The person I'm trying to stop giving COTDs to even though he earns one almost every single day wins on the last day. Congrats, again, Ash78. Jerk.
As Colin Chapman once said, "Mass abating is the greatest thing a man can do with his free time."
Happy New Year's Eve e'rbody!
