I came over here wondering where you were at in that regard, after noticing that Aine MacDermot had reached that milestone recently, and discovered that you're well on your way to 2000! Well, here's my belated toast to Mr. Jacobsen and his unmatchable productivity.

danish.newsvine.com is one of the most visited pages at Newsvine, and not without good reason. Claus is a passionate, eloquent contributor who raises the bar for us all. No one can say that the international perspective is underrepresented here at the 'vine once they've come across Claus' column. Plus, he looks quite suave in his avatar ;)
