Our 1,000th comment happened today at 10:17 a.m. Professor Jason Mittell wrote:
“Ryan – I appreciate your point about fostering competition rather than encouraging action for its own sake. However, I’ve heard that the participation on the budget website has not been particularly strong, and that students have especially been silent on the topic unless prodded by specific questions (like the fate of 51 Main on Tim’s blog). So incentivizing actions that should be self-motivating is unfortunately necessary.
And I second your comparative point – you can’t simply say ‘save this’ without saying ‘but cut this instead.’”
It makes me really, really glad that Jason approves of cash prizes, especially in light of what I am about to do . . .
Congratulations, Jason!
As MiddBlog’s 1000th Commenter, you win
a $25.00 gift certificate to 51 Main!

Only a little bit hypocritical, Middblog. Do I get a prize for being comment #1,004?
But congrats on the milestone and keep up the good work.
Sorry, James, but you don’t get a prize for #1,004. You’re #1,005.
I am honored and humbled by the prize, and proud to have offered such a self-reflexive foreshadowing comment! But I cannot accept the prize in good conscience, and thus will donate it as budget relief to MiddBlog. (Or maybe Ryan & I can get a drink to celebrate the end of the hard work on the web redo committee!)
