621)A Tribute To ISMAILI MAIL'S Publisher; My Final Post Of 2009; My Final Post Of The Decade.

http://ismailimail.wordpress.com/


I have been meaning to write this post for a while but this is the most appropriate time to do so. Ismaili Mail has just completed 3 full years of existence and has received almost 3 million hits from readers on 6 continents. I crunched some numbers and that works out on average to around 2740 hits per day, 114 hits per hour or 2 hits per minute, all occuring 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year since it began. It is indeed a well-visited and well-read website.It is not unreasonable to ask who publishes Ismaili Mail and what makes this person tick. I did some sleuthing and have it on good authority that Ismaili Mail is a solo effort by a person who chooses to remain anonymous.

A detailed look at the Ismaili Mail website reveals the vast array of topics it has covered and continues to cover. It is a repository of information, knowledge and wisdom pertaining to anything that has to do with the Shia Nizari Ismaili Muslim tariqa of Islam. Ismaili Mail is obviously a labour of love and we all know who this love is directed at.

For me personally, the author of a Blog on the link between Science and Religion in Islam, Ismaili Mail is the mother ship to my baby Blog. My Blog, along with many other Blogs, has benefitted greatly from the publicity afforded to it by Ismaili Mail's publisher and I am eternally grateful for this gesture.

On this third anniversay of the Ismaili Mail website it is fitting, I think, to pay tribute to its publisher, a kind-hearted, selfless, hard-working and determined individual whose efforts have enriched all of us and promise to continue enriching all of us for years to come.
