I went through and counted the sightings and have come up with this number for 2009 (not including the rallies): 122. Sightings of your own TM don't count.
Numbers reported at rallies: 80 + 18 + 25 = 123
So the grand total is 245, if we minus the 3 people who reported the numbers at the rallies then it makes 242.
It's hard to tell from some of the posts how many people have seen.
If anyone is bored and would like to count them up again please do so.
Happy New Year, goodbye 2009, hello 2010 and 2011 (I'm getting too old to want to skip a year any more)!
