I actually have gotten a response from Unca Cecil. In one of the many threads on the board charging for membership, I offered an alternative fundraising method. The Cecil Sperm Bank-get your own test tube of his Teeming Millions! ``` He responded with "I can offer a far superior delivery modality." ``` So that’s 2 posts explained, 98 to go. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Cecil Adams \* > \*\*So. Happy? \*\* Hmph. People have been complaining this is just post-padding, a less-than-spectacular endeavour. Yet, it’s succint exhortation to reflect on the nature of happiness and whether or not we have attained it. A truly vital question. As **Esprix** ’s sig indicates, this is not the first time the Perfect Master has inquired after the happiness of us Well-Teemed Millions. Perhaps we should start a Great Debate on the nature of happiness in his honour 🙂 And let us each hope that Mr. Adams is happy, himself. ---
