GCN Circulars

I'm afraid I've given up trying to log all of the GCN Circulars I'm involved in. Right now (2011 December 22) I am on 684 circulars and lead author on 154 of those. However an increasing number of GCN Circulars "written" by software which I produced, though I am not listed as an author on many of these.
