I'm so glad I decided to participate again this year.<br /><br />I don't know about the word count thing. Quite a few of the posts I read and loved must have been over the 400 word mark, but because they were well written and entertaining, it didn't bother me at all. And, let's face it, if people don't want to read the whole post, they won't. That's what's great about A to Z--there's something for every taste!Kern Windwraithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16771591425163484238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-68809081479893819602013-05-08T09:12:06.040-04:002013-05-08T09:12:06.040-04:00Hey, Alex,

I knew when I read your theme and first post that you had to have spent a huge amount of time on each one.<br /><br />Getting out and visiting and commenting and replying to comments and on and on....you must never sleep. Or you are sickeningly well organized. <br /><br />Your minions were lucky to have you as their leader and I was lucky enough to always get a comment from you.<br /><br />I must say though, your question about drowning in comments made me laugh very hard! I cannot even imagine 263 comments! And it would be a little scary to see that many. <br /><br />I enjoyed the Challenge (and the challenge within the Challenge) and look forward 2014!Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676928110297819368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-7053652151989963962013-05-05T17:23:12.712-04:002013-05-05T17:23:12.712-04:00Liz, would love to have you join us.

Certainly not on the same scale as you did, but with all the info@ emails (which of course ended up being long conversations as we worked out issues...) took a lot of my time, as well as co-host duties. I'm still returning comments and visiting visitors, but as I'm working through the reflections list, I'm hitting a lot of them that way. Wish I had more time...but don't we all!<br />Thanks for covering the list.
