One Among Many started an interesting meme this week, and as I was tagged by my friend Rhoelyn (and via Twitter, by OAM), I felt obligated to respond. Besides which, I enjoy this sort of thing. 
I started this blog back in August 2007, on Blogger. That first post is still there, in fact. And then look at who commented! Yes, no other than Petopia’s Mania (also, of course, the author of Mania’s Arcania and one of my inspirations for creating my own blog). Here’s what she had to say, 22 months ago, and just a few hours after I first posted:
Not the only person [reading Kestrel's Aerie]. :> Welcome to the neighborhood! As not only a non-raider but someone who doesn’t like to group at all, I look forward to reading more of your thoughts.
Mania may not be quite as big an Internet ammalgamation as BRK, but definitely a WoW blogging superstar in my eyes! Those few words really fueled my initial passion for the blog, and every single one of the 1,466 subsequent comments has added to that fire. (Even though, of late, it may seem like some dimly glowing embers.) :p
So in keeping with the spirit of such memes, I want to tag some of the folks who’ve commented on my blog, and have inspired and befriended me as we all continue this grand adventure (and if someone already tagged you, my tag trumps!): Vonya, the Egotistical Priest; Breana, that Gun-Loving Mace-Wielding Dwarf Chick; Arrens, who sees things Through the Eyes of a rogue; Lassirra, who is invariably spot on The Hunter’s Mark; and Galadria, who was one of my first comment correspondents, and whose encouragement to follow the Holy Light helped Osprey become whatever it is he is today. To you five, and to the hundreds of others who have honored me with your comments, thank you!

Hurray! Moar good feelings! In a reverse Zoidberg response, “Your blog is good and you should feel good!”

It’s been really fun to watch this make the rounds of the Blogosphere.
Thanks for chiming in, Kes!
Yours,

Rhoelyn´s last blog post: A Look Back: First Responses
Thanks for tagging me, Rhoe! (even if it was via Twitter and I had to break up a cat fight between you and Cait).
(Now there’s the genesis of a blog article if I ever saw one!) :p
Kes, I’m so sorry! In my first commenter blog post I thought you had taken me off your blogroll…turns out I was in multi-class! Which makes sense…perhaps I was blind that day. So…I’m happy that I’m still on there! /hug And sorry that I thought otherwise!
Want some [Hot Apple Cider]? =D
Cait´s last blog post: You’ve probably already seen this…
Achievements aren’t the reason that I play WoW, but they sure are nice. I love seeing the little “Devv has earned the achievement [Blah Blah Blah]” especially when I’m not expecting it. I feel the same way about blog comments. They’re not the reason that I write, but they sure are nice. =)
Devv´s last blog post: Shoryuken!
