Okay Cecil finally answered…fer God’s sake some of you reacted like a bunch of teeny boppers at an 'N Sync concert! LOL, I know that sounds bad but it really wasn’t meant that way. Still he’s a human and a busy dude… As for aha…aha my dear, please forget your need to have people in high places, it rarely works for the betterment of your self. On a message board it’s not even a big deal unless you can get them to send you a **hand** written letter. So there. (don’t mind me, I think it’s funny that people get all giggly over a response on a message board…now talk to me the moment you meet him in person, then you can be giddy like a school girl.) 🙂 ---

Congratulations to the posters in this thread, you all deserve it as loyal as you are. I am willing to bet that some of you had diseases that are now healed. Even as I was just reading the welcome to you all from Cecil I looked up to see my virgin Mary statue weeping. It is truly miraculous. Don’t worry about me I will be ok…☹ ---

Welcome aboard Amy. Good for you. **aha** I feel your pain, but it’s ok. You still have until Tuesday. And being your best friend, that’s as good as being greeted by Cecil. ---

Didn’t somebody decide that there was no Cecil Adams, that it was some other guy named Cecil Adams who writes the Straight Dope and…I’m confused. ---

> [@](#): > > Didn’t somebody decide that there was no Cecil Adams, that it was some other guy named Cecil Adams who writes the Straight Dope and…I’m confused. Several people have opinions on this one. The most widely held opinion is that yes, there’s a Cecil. He exists as certainly as you or I do. However, another widely held opinion is that the name “Cecil Adams” is a pseudonym. You see, Cecil Adams is a “reclusive genius.” He likes his personal privacy. After hanging around these boards for a while, I understand why. (Just kidding! I love you all!) Some folks think Ed Zotti is Cecil. Personally, I don’t. I’d like to know the real story, someday. But it’s not high on my list of priorites. I just keep on believing that there’s a Cecil. Of course, the fact that someone with the username “Cecil Adams,” who had “administrator” under that name welcomed **me** to the board as well just reinforces everything I’ve believed all along. 🙂 ---
