This is no party post for me: All those posts of mine are worth nothing. They are worth nothing if there are no replies or acknowledgements, therefore this is dedicated for all the dopers that replied to or took something from my humble (or silly and dumb ones, depending on your POW) posts. It is you, the ones that replied, that deserve recognition: And here you are: (Mostly in order of appearance in threads/posts I participated/created, except when noted) **Beelzebubba Winowill Mauvaise mojo jomo colounsbury tubadiva Ultrafilter Mangetout Kaje Crunchy Frog Johnny L.A.

Glad to hear you are out of the hospital, may you get all the sugar free chocolate you can! **Gaudere** : I survived an encounter with a mod, but his/her law got me (still does) **OpalCat** : Thanks for the moon raccoon! **Elucidator** : For saying what I was thinking before I had the need to type it. **Hentor the barbarian** : For also being there just like elucidator. **Elvis1ives** : For being in the building! **Exapno Mapcase** Butler did it! **Gazelle from Hell** For laughing at the elephant joke! **Duck Duck Goose** : I still thank you for your all your help! **sailor** : Thanks for your help also, and your great replies. From the conservative side I had some rough replies, but there are reasons to give thanks if not for the replies, then for other reasons so thanks to: **Scylla** : for the blimps. **december** : for the limericks. **Sam Stone** : for the Barbie house history. All that, showed to me the wisdom of not ignoring anybody, even those I disagree with. **Chef Troy** : for inspiring me to continue developing my comic. **Ben** : My own comic and regular work is pushing back my anti-JackChick tracks, but I have not forgotten. **SteverinoAlaReno** : “Thank you GIGObuster! I will raise a glass of fine scotch in your honor.” Well, I don’t drink hard stuff, but I will raise a glass of Zinfandel for you!) **glee** : Because he called me an scholar and a gentleman! **sugare** : For saying: “ ::applause:::: Beautiful work, GIGObuster” (in the same thread as glee) **mamahen** : For being mamahen! **RTFirefly** : Thank you for your advice. **Flamsterette\_X** : sorry I missed your flirt in Café society! **Policarp** : because he remembered me a few months ago when he thanked everybody for being concerned on his past emergency, I still feel bad I could not help you directly in your hour of need, but I am getting in a better economic situation now to help other dopers in trouble in the future. **lel** : just because I am a superhero in her world! Finally: special thanks to **guinastasia** : because historical babes rock my world! And I hope someday I will meet you! You are the lady of my thoughts. Holy macarel! You run into lots of great people here! Thanks again to all, and apologies to anyone I must have forgotten. ---

Well, I don’t think I was cordially invited by the list, but this party seems to be in some dire need of guests, so I figured I’d stop in and give you a big congrats, **GIGObuster** , because you did go through most of the work of posting 1001 times. ---

Awww, aren’t you just such a precious superhero? 😛 I’ve been waiting for you to hit 1000 posts to do that, you know. I’ve delayed gratification now for a fairly long time. Now should I duck and run, preferably somewhere where you can’t get to me in 10 minutes? 😃 ---
