According to my careful prosthesis, after much super-secret lizardoid calculus, I deduce that comment #4,000,000 will be posted by the person whose ‘reply’ link contains the value ‘c=4003030’. You can see this by clicking the ‘reply’ link on a comment’s top line, then looking at the URL that’s inserted into the comment posting form.

I will now turn commenting back on, as we approach this grim milestone. May the fittest lizard survive.
