I am so terribly sad that it is too late to let you know how much your friendship meant to me and that I am very thankful that I was able to know you.
Had I only seen this sooner.
Rest in peace. You will not be forgotten.
Oh, and you were much more than a “small part”.
What a beautiful thread.
(In honor of you, Scott/poohpah chalupa)
I’m thankful for the SDMB in general, and these posters in particular:
superbee
Max Carnage
Zanshin
BottleBlondJeanie
I’m also thankful that I’m not dead. . . yet.
Tripler
I’m also honestly thankful that everyone will take that tongue-in-cheek. 
I’m thankful for the boards, without them I would have not met my husband.
I’m thankful for the wonderful people I have met here, Hamadryad and Tark in particular. Without them, I would be even more of a raving lunatic. I’m thankful for Canadian Sue, who has kept me abreast on news at home, no matter how sad. I’m thankful for the ready-made support group that existed in the MADs before I moved here.
I’m thankful for the times that I have spent with my Auntie (and Godmother) Bonnie, who is in the last stages of cancer, and how she is in no pain.
I am thankful for all of you.
I’m grateful for our time with Scott.

And of course, my SO Reinhold Messner, whom I met on this board.
And for poohpah chalupa, for starting this thread and being a wonderful example of a doper.
I am thankful for the SDMB, a beacon of light on the crazy Internet. And the only non-theatre board I post on.
This place has distracted me from things I should do more than anything else I know, and that speaks volumes about how interesting, diverse, and caring this community can be. We’ve gone though a lot of emotions together - sadness, such as now, but also fear, hate, anger, love, laughter, friendship, satisfaction and just plain contentment at knowing that there is always a place to go to where people will read about, and care about, what you have to say.
I love this place, and I increasingly feel the urge to make my way to a Dopefest one of these days and meet some of you people who make my days that much more fun.
I’m sorry I’m not that great a writer, but I think you get what I’m trying to say!
{{{SDMB}}}
This place is my last great computer addiction.
Visual Basic - Shouldn’t’ve kicked it.
Everquest - Glad I kicked it.
SDMB - Hope I never kick it.
I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve, but I’m glad you’re here.
RIP poopah chalupa, wally, and any other brave and noble dopers who may have fallen in the battle against ignorance.
There was someone else who died, was there not? Not a very prolific poster, but I think I remember a reg saying, “Poster X, who you don’t know very well, but I did, passed away.”
As my job slows down to a crawl this time of year (or whenever Congress decides to take one of its many vacations), I’m thankful to the SDMB for allowing me some form of entertainment, creative expression and sanity.
Extra special thanks to the new, extra-fast hamsters who have made posting on here almost a pleasureable computer experience. 
I am so thankful for my life right now. I have a wonderful husband, a healthy and happy baby girl, a job that pays well even though I complain about it, and my health.
I’m thankful for my friends, my buddies on the SDMB Shagnasty and Debaser, and that I have a home to go to each night.
Beautiful thread, poopah chalupa. You’ll be missed.
OH wow, this place is so great.
So very great.
I’d also like to say how great an idea the “BBQ pit” and “General Questions” forums are.
I always had questions in my mind and things to bitch about, and now I can do both.
Hooray!
Yes, this is a great board. Such a sense of humor, compassion and information!
Bless you, poopah chalupa.
RIP, chalupa.
I wish for strength and peace for your family. You will be remembered.
I’m thankful for the many good things I have in my life… a comfortable existence, good friends, and advantages that I may or may not deserve.
I’m thankful for my theatre experiences, for my art experiences, for my writing and reading experiences. I’m thankful for my imagination that allows me to have and enjoy these experiences, even if they can be scary sometimes.
On the boards, I’m thankful for Techchick, because she’s always been a sweetheart to me; Silver Fire, lovely Silver Fire, who is apparently hiding in my closet; Johnny L.A., a guy whose name I just love to say, because he’s a big, jolly guy that’s fun to be around; Mercutio, because he lives up to his namesake (ya know, the guy from Romeo & Juliet?), and because he never fails to drop me an IM from time to time; Minty Green, because he doesn’t hold grudges (phew!); ExTank, for his rationality and coolheadedness that serves as a reminder for me to follow suit; Javamaven, who has been a good friend to me… and I still have her book that I have to give back…; JustPlainBryan, because he drove me all around Hollywood late one night, and man, has he got a great sense of humor; Stoid, because somehow she manages to see past the fact that I’m an evil Republican bastard (I don’t know how)… :D; Esprix, because of his zest for life and his energetic, positive, outgoing nature; Arnold Winkelreid, who, when I first met him, was genuinely interested in my art book, and I still remember the positive influence he was; and many others who, unfortunately, are slipping my mind due to the fact that it’s 3:00 AM and I’ve been studying all day… who, unfortunately, I probably haven’t let know that they’ve had an impact on my life.
I used to heavily participate in the goings-on of the SDMB… for some reason or another, I feel like I’ve kinda inched away in recent months. Methinks I should rectify that…
Oh yeah, and Weirddave… damned Trekkie bastard… but I still love 'im…
I am thankful that some two years ago, a woman I had been speaking with on-line told me of this site.
I am thankful for the NY Doper crowd being so kind when we first met, and that I have gone on to meet a great many wonderful people who post here.
Even without the board itself, I’m very glad I now personally know so many intelligent, compassionate folks all around the world to share life with.
I am thankful for the Buffy, Angel, Survivor, Firefly, John Doe and Simpsons fans here. I am thankful for Ralph Wiggam and Pie jokes.
I am also thankful for the Mods who have a thankless job at times.
I am thankful for the nice folks who try hard to help out in GQ. I am thankful for for the snarky posters in the Pit, blasting fools, trools and life’s annoyances with equal fury.
I am thankful that I have learned much, had fun and avoided a great deal of work here.
I think a proper period of mourning has been reached. I’m going to “unstick” this thread and allow it to slip down the page.
