(Like y’all need it! ;)) A few hours ago I posted a thread regarding the novel _Dreamcatcher_ over on GQ, but for some reason the title didn’t make it in its entirety, so the the partial title made no sense. Well, I e-mailed Jill with a request, and I’ll be damned if she didn’t fix it within _minutes_! I just think that this is way fantastic considering the fact that y’all have lives and don’t get paid for this! It makes it worthwhile just staring at the screen when the board is slow (and I don’t have anything to open a new window for) because I know that other dopers are waiting right along with me, and I’m in good company. I think y’all are great, just great! 😃 Thanks Quasi PS: Tuba Diva, I am so _intrigued_ by your name and by what you do and write that I just have to ask if you have a home page I could visit? ---

Whew. Good thing he doesn’t know how _Cute_ we are or we’d be in trouble. ---

We do know. I got pictures and I posted them on a undisclosed web page. I only charge $3 per Megabyte for viewing. 😃 ---

Jill has oversized genitalia? I never woulda guessed. David B, of course, has shown his to everybody. ---

The mods work very hard to keep this a fun and informational site. They get very little thanks and no pay. I really appreciate all the work they do… actually, I think we all do, and we should be more vocal about it. Like every other thankless job, they usually only hear about our grievances and "will you fix my code? " stuff. So, **THANKS TO ALL MODS!** And thank you, **Quasi,** for starting this thread!

I didn’t get to see David B’s genitalia. Or is this just one of those things that Mods get to do and we mere mortals don’t?
