since I am seeing a variety of top ten lists, I thought I would offer several list of my own (although none with ten items).
In this diary, below the cheese doodle, I will go back to January 1, 2014 and present you with three lists, each in ascending order. derived from the 257 diaries I posted prior to this one
1. most commented upon of my diaries
2. most recommended of my diaries
3. the ones I value the most
I invite you to see how truly annoying I have been here this year
Seven most commented upon diaries (number of comments in parentheses):
Charles M. Blow has a must-read column on Obama (366)
What a White cop thinks (290)
you want to know what’s wrong with the Common Core? (274)
What the battle over birth control is really about (259)
“It’s about white rage” (194)
Hard to say what sickens me the most (190)
Eugene Robinson “Elizabeth Warren makes a powerful case” 183

Yes, there is overlap across the lists, although perhaps somewhat less than you might expect.
I have been here since late 2003, posting my first diary in early 2004. This will make 3428 diaries visible here (along with several more I deleted back in 2006). In a sense this has been a year in which my frequency of posting has declined, although in the past few weeks I have begun to again be more active here.
I am grateful for this community, which has put up with my verbosity and verbal blatherings for so long.
Thanks.
Peace.
