I meant to post a “here’s to ya” yesterday, but the board went down (yeah, that’s it, the board went down). Happy 3K to the man in the loud shirt! ---

Cheers, Demo! so, do 3000 posts make you a better typist? Yeah, it was an inane and pointless comment, but I’m in an inane and pointless mood right now. ---

Demo, you shameless Board Whore. Congratulations on 3000! Jesus, three thousand… I don’t envy the poor woman that’s in your bed, just begging for attention… while Demo posts away in the other room. Poor Psycat! Hmmm, wait a minute. What does that say about me?? 😉 ---

Omigod, Demo hit 3K…{ladylike but thorough sniff} Who’da thunk the funky, hilarious little pissant could have incorporated his hospital job, copious booze, high-minded joie de vivre, keyboards-in-the-mist, spiders in the bathroom and assorted Dopers happily invading his life? You don’t just rock, Demo; you’re a one-man Richter fuse. Thanks, it’s been a pleasure and _many_ happy returns. Veb ---

Oh my goodness… I just reopened this thread after a one day vacation from the board (:)) and vacillated between posting to it (thereby looking like I was bumping my own party) or letting it be (thereby leaving all the wonderfully nice comments go unnoticed) and decided to sacrifice my humility after all. 😃 This is just so cool. I know this thread isn’t a big deal to pretty much everyone out there, but it’s important to me. I hope this next part doesn’t come out too touchy feely but: You know, you come to the boards (some more often than others) and joke, argue and discuss things. Over a period of time, you come to know people and feel that sense of community. But there are times when you question if this community is real or if you are imagining it and wonder why you have spent so much of your time here. Then there are moments when a few words change all that and you realize that this is a _very_ important part of your life. This is one of those times. Thanks, you guys, for reminding me of that. Christ, now I feel like Stevie Wonder at the Grammys. Somebody ring the gong and get that huge hook out to pull me off stage. Then again, maybe I’m just happy because I got out of work early due to a power outage… 😃 Vince ---

Demo, Allow me to say that you are appreciated, and loved, and this thread IS a big deal because it allows us to appreciate you in public the way we all do every time we read one of your witty and wonderful posts. Plus, you gave me a ROCKIN’ hot wing recipe, and I don’t care if no one else will eat them. (Too hot? Nah!) One of these days I’m gonna make it to one of your BBQ Dopefests, and we are just gonna sit in the corner and eat hot wings. That is a promise! Scotti ---
