Not around last nite to hear the news - I'll add my thanks for providing this great site. I have said it before - I have learned more about the inner workings of this state in the last few years than I have in all the years previous.

Please don't change anything about the format, tho, I get lost easily.

I'm really happy to see you are acknowledging what we all have known for some time now - that YOU are the preeminent website for Illinois politics. I don't know what I, or the rest of us here, would do without your information. There just simply isn't anyone else that comes up to your level Rich. And where else can I make a fool of myself with my comments and do so with such anonymity? We like you man, we really like you.

"I just switched my home page from the Chicago Tribune to CAP FAX. Not a big deal you say. Ha! The Trib has been my home page for about 5 years."

Jeez, hope this wasn't Pearson.

That Speaker vid is a keeper.

Well done, Rich.

Always there, always reliable, always keeping us informed and always separating fact from fiction! You represent now what journalism will some day evolve to! You are simply the best! I do relish the occasional "Bite me" remarks that have become your trade mark! Don't let up!

Rich,

How many hits to you get on average? And what do you think the ratio of visitors/comment are?

As someone who came out of J-School and started as a cop reporter in the goofy river bends of the Quad-Cities chasing fires and stepping all over murder scenes, I have very mixed emotions about the changes taking place in communicating the news to the public.

But in all honesty, and with no small amount of jealousy, my hat's off to you, dude. You're a pioneer and the cap fax just keeps getting better and better.

I especially admire how you insist on a civil discourse on the blog. Not a lot of that going on in the rest of the world. Thank you, Rich's Mom and Dad, for insisting on some standards. Good on you, Rich, for living up to them.

Echo the applause- you have served as a lifeline for all of us around the state who are hanging in limbo and at the mercy of our "leaders" ( and I use that term very loosely) to decide our fate.
You have empowered many with information and hopefully with that new power, we can make change happen .
Thanks

--"Iâ€™ll echo all the thanks for your hard work. When things were breaking fast and furious yesterday, all you heard at work was â€œWhat is Rich Miller saying?â€ or â€œIs that on Capitol Fax?â€ --

I'll second that. If I don't text updates to the hubby out in the field so he can catch up on the goings on when he can during his break, he phones at lunch and I hear "What's happening"?

36 minutes til' site is down, glad I got caught up on the vids. Much appreciated, Mr. Miller. Loved the Quinn veto clip.

In a media world in which CNN is using video from cell phones in Tehran as part of their "coverage" of the elections and the Chicago media are pretty clueless about the nuances of what goes on in Springfield, there is a reason why people interested in credible, reliable reporting go to your web site -- and you should be proud of the volume. Keep up the good work, the thoughtful comments, the accurate report. We count on you.

I just switched my home page from the Chicago Tribune to CAP FAX. Not a big deal you say. Ha! The Trib has been my home page for about 5 years.

Keep up the good work. On a slow news day, perhaps you could share your IT hardware set up.
