All opportunities to make a Fellowship of the Ring joke used up?
Crap.
Well, then congratulations, Doc. We’re all very proud to know you, and proud _of_ you.

I, for one, am not impressed. I mean, getting credit for something you could do with your eyes closed? 😃 I’m kidding, of course.
Good Job!
BTW, all of you questioning the “Family” part. He is a Physician for the Family of Man. Of course, he mostly cares for the shirt-tail relatives. 😃
**QtM** , you have been, are and will be, an inspiration to us all.
But, one thing, stay out of the Gyrocopter. they have a high failure rate, with poor survivability, we _need_ you here. You do NOT have our permission to risk your life!

I am but a very lowly newbie here, but I have read many of your posts.
Given that, I hope no one takes this as arrogance, but you have my most sincere congratulations also.
As well as the fact that I consider you an excellent role model, both for your victories and for you willingness to speak frankly about the mountains you’ve had to climb.
That, sir, speaks a great deal, and I thank you for sharing both the good and the bad. My (Tilley) hat is off to you!
Thanks.

_Family_ physician, _Felony_ physician – whatever.
Big congrats, and thanks for reminding me of what one can achieve by putting down an addiction.

I can’t believe that I’m actually going to get to say that QTM

Best Supporting Doctor in a Penal Institution, or something like that.
Conga-rats, Doc. Job well done.
