The kind people at WordPress have informed me that TMR is now one year old.

I would like to sincerely thank the tens of thousands of readers who have stopped by in this time. Your readership and support have been greatly appreciated and are what keep this blog going.

A very special thanks also goes to my lovely partner – who has patiently listened to all of my opinions over the years, encouraged me to set up TMR and even coined its name for good measure. Without her, TMR would not exist.

A big thank you also goes to reader Peter Part – my number one debating partner, who always challenges me and makes me think. I am not exaggerating when I say that this is one of the finest gifts that can be given to another person.

Lastly, I would like to thank those on TMR’s wall of fame for:

• generously sharing some of their hard earned goodwill with me;

• letting me shamelessly spruik TMR’s content on their sites from time to time; and

• being good sports and not asking that I take their photos down.

I will not forget what each of you has done for me and will be sure to pass it on.
