this seems as good an occasion as any to venture out of lurker status and wish you all the best. Congratulations on having completed the first year! I have been a regular visitor since the beginning of the blog.
Since my nationality (Austria) does not seem much represented on Eurotrib, I am planning to comment now and then from my expatriate perspective, I am living in Hong Kong just now. I get to breathe some of the Chinese coal dust that you were just blogging about ...
And may I say, I like Eurotrib a lot better than DailyKos, and would not want it to become too similar to the Kossacks' place. Quality over quantity, is that not more appropriate to the European spirit and values?
