for my 666th post, I would like to Praise one of the most heartwarming, nicest, kindest, and compassionate newbies out there, ** Verrain **
in my “well, it’s official” thread, this newbie went out of his way to make me feel better, and keep me in my prayers (yes, I’m religious).
I just want to say, thanks, Verrain.
You are welcome, Ad Noctum, and I thank you for devoting your Post of the Beast to me. 
Any fellow biologist can’t be all bad!
As someone that has known Verrain for awhile, I would just like to chime in with my 2 cents. He is an intelligent, witty and all around great guy and a good friend.
But beware the dreaded movie and Dr. Who quotes! 
I dunno… he seems okay, but he dosnt believe in DRAGONS?! I gotta take exception to that one, and offer up a great big honkin’ “Hey! I exist, damnit!”
[sub]Welcome aboard, man, and good show[/sub]
Thank you, and in your case you’ll find I am good at suspending disbelief.
