Two Milestones -- For This Blog, Tonight. . . .


As luck would have it, this is my 500th post. Suitable that it covers something relatively-inane, and self-referential, right?

Right.

More important, actually, is the other milestone, reached by the blog -- at about 2:40 p.m., this afternoon -- we recorded our 100,000th unique visitor:

* Hey -- wait! That firm's parent, Banc of America, was in the underwriting syndicate that helped finance Schering-Plough's purchase of Organon in August 2007, and was most-recently a co-arranger in lining up commitments for financing $7 billion of Merck's proposed purchase price, in the Sch-Merck deal, too, right?

Right. It was.
