Thank you very much! I like the "human touch" of this better than a plug-in for Top Commenters. I'm not sure how those work, but couldn't such a plug-in "reward" people who might not deserve such recognition? You know, folks who post a comment like, "Cool post!" and then respond to everyone else's comment with "I agree!" and before you know it, they've added 20 comments to every post? Anyway, thanks again for doing this Chris. It was a very pleasant surprise! Wow, Chris… you keep inspiring by example. Thank you very much!

I'd like to do the same thing, but WordPress doesn't show me who my top commenters are, out of the box.
