Not much to say really. Since nearly everyone forgot my birthday IRL, and no one knew OL, I feel in need of a party of some sort. This could be a good surrogate. Well, everyone can use this opportunity to say you like me, say you are ambivalent towards me, or say you think I suck. Most all opinions are welcome. I start today towards the next milestone - 10,000. Una Persson Coal Goddess ---

Congrats, Coalchick! If it isn’t clear by now, I like ya, and I have to respect anyone who’s a PE (someday I may tell my story about working for an engineering firm for two years). I’ve been wondering about something though. Isn’t Una Perrson a Michael Moorcock character? ---

Congratulations, Anthracite! You are one of the good people, in my book, anyway. And thank you for the thread title. I always wondered what Apu (or was it Apu’s brother?) was saying in the _22 short stories about Springfield_ episode of The Simpsons. ---

Congrats on the step to four figures Anth and a big happy birthday, belated thought it is. Tell us when so we get it next year. [opinion hat] I think you’re a great poster - you’re one of those posters that can entice me into a thread I have little interest in simply because you offer such interesting thoughts and insights. As for whether you suck or not, well I thought you’d made that abundantly clear early on. [/opinion hat] ---

Finally, an real reason to say _hot_ damn! **Anthracite** , the complex, time-blessed bringer of light and heat passes 1000! (Many are bituminous: smoky, dull and smudgy.)

Dunno about youse guys, but I’m raising a glass in honor of a tried, testy and carbon-true diamond of a Doper! Cheers! Veb ---
