As it is our 17 anniversary - h2g2 was founded on 28 April, 1999 - I thought I'd check how we're doing.
Today, we have 10938 Edited Entries in the Guide.
That's all created by you Researchers - Thank you!
And The Post has published 1032 editions, that in itself covers many entries per edition, so go read to your hearts content!
And if you really don't know where to begin, why don't you try the Infinite Improbability Drive, guaranteed to take you somewhere you didn't know you wanted to go.
Thank you, Researchers!

Oh and our top five Researchers are
User ID User Name Entries Count
43530 Bluebottle 332
128652 Galaxy Babe - eclectic editor 272
151503 Gnomon 219

Imagine that, 5 people having published a total of 1404 entries? I'm impressed, I really am.
Also, Dmitri informs me that the actual number of Post editions is 682, due to some confused book keeping in the early years... Which is still plent to read!
Thank you, Researchers!

We consider the Post to represent an impressive body of work, Researcher-wise. 
Thank you, Researchers!

Happy Birthday to us,
It is such a buzz,
Some entries,
Are nearly 20,
And that's all down to us*.
*yeah, lame end but It's been an odd week
Thank you, Researchers!

I'm in awe of that top 5 too! 
I'm not doing so bad myself - I'm *nearly* up to 42 Solo Edited Entries and of course there's the collaborative Entries too, so I've learned a huge amount in my 7 years as a denizen of h2g2 and it's a pleasure to share it with all of you 
Thank you, Researchers!
