I was going to be all surprised to think that you're bashful about posting comments, but in fact I realise that I'm exactly the same about other people's blogs if I don't know them well (I think about half of my potential comments on grumpyolddog's posts get self-edited into nothingness). I'm less inhibited about yours, though. It helps to actually know you. And I'm sure it's not as long as 8349702 years - 7569368 at the very most!
