- 12/11/01 - pollock's site of the day - It was one year ago today that I started this whole site of the day nonsense.

Though, other than through an IP address, I don't really know who most of them are, (drop me a line sometime, or leave a note on my message board), I even seem to have some regulars. So enjoy, and let's hope that with a few suggestions from you, I can keep this going strong for another year. (someonewhocares.org/siteoftheday)
