As good as they were, Joe Dimaggio, Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, or Ted Williams never achieved 3,000 career major league hits. We got them beat. On May 9, 2007, No Strings Attached had its 3,000th hit.
We’d like to thank our readers for their sustained interest in our fact-based point-of-view on local government. Back on April 17, just three weeks after launch, we had our 1000th visit. Two weeks after that, our 2000th. And a week later, our 3000th.
With a steady rate of 70% returning visitors and 30% new visitors, our readership is constantly increasing and remaining loyal. It appears we have over 700 people checking out our site on a regular basis.

Hey, I just added you to the blog roll over at RochesterTurning.
Sounds like you guys are doing great!
I think this blog site is great. How do you feel about taking questions? For instance when I read in the paper that some people want a curfew in Geneva (parts of Geneva? For everyone, or just those who can't vote yet?) it makes me think of the 1968 riots in DC. We had a curfew and armed guards on every corner, yet I still had to watch bodies being caried out of the house across the street. And a few years later at about 9:00 PM (when there was no curfew anymore anyway), armed robbers shot and paralyzed my next door neighbor during a party. Which is to say, I'm not sure curfews do much other than to raise the anxiety some people have about other people.
Ask Pete Rose if it matters how many "hits" you get. How is Pete remembered?
As a courtesy to a fellow Councilor, we are running your response, though in the future, we would like to avoid gratuitous comments that don't add any substance to the discussion. Chat rooms or other forums are better suited to those types of innuendos and griping. Granted, we were having some fun when we posted with a reference to baseball, but a comparison to Pete Rose implies you are questioning our integrity, or maybe that we're gamblers? We aren't quite sure what the point was. But, for those keeping score, we are fast approaching Rose's major career hits record of 4,256.
Lesley,
Thanks for your question. We have looked into this subject and have composed a post on it. Please check back for our response.
