About 507 stories for me. "About" because I forgot to add in the ones that I've read so far in the Dozois megathology, minus those already read for the Hartwell/Cramer annual.

So I think I'll have no trouble hitting 600 by the end of the year.

You see, I didn't even mention those inflationary methods used in somebody's count. Oops!

Fred, points are adjusted for the higher cost of living. :)

You know, it is because of people like you that the Fed keeps raising interest rates!
