Top 10 Posts for May 2011

Posts that lead to wide-ranging discussion are, for me, the biggest payoff of doing this blog. My next favorite thing, as my friend The Crotchety Old Fan will appreciate, is when something gets widely noticed (for the right reasons…) — like when Metafilter flagged the item about Terry Pratchett’s Coat-of-Arms, posted last November, making it wildly popular for two days.
