brackets behind each link indicate that the post is Long, Medium lenght or Short and High-Brow, Mid-Brow or Low Brow - low-brow meaning in this context that it's easily digested, not that it's somehow lowly.(Looking at the list, it doesn't really include a short post. Well, there you go.) This time round, it is also indicated whether the post is Funny or Not.
In summary, it's a surprisingly nondiverse collection, features three authors who made last year's top 10, and the slots are near-equally divided between economists and the rest of the world's population. But, hey, we don't do affirmative action here.

Whaddya mean lukewarm? I noted your discerning judgment last year, here. And I'll likely get around to doing the same this year.
Noted, shmoted. Were special celebrations held in my honour? Not as far as I am aware. Did included authors develop sudden illusions of grandiosity? As far as I can tell, no. Did nonincluded authors send me death threats? Nope. That's what I call lukewarm.
Thanks for #4!
as far as I'm aware, no tears of gratitude were shed
Ahem!
John,
your're clearly not literal-minded enough!
Great tears of gratitude being shed here. Thanks!
That's the one post I have written which came directly from my own experience, as opposed to theoretical musings.
Nick,
1. That's great to hear.
2. It's a hint!
John,
your're clearly not literal-minded enough!
Now there's something I've never heard before.
