Besides, in seriousness, I’m not eager to pit you. I can recall being on opposite sides of many debates, but nothing sticks out in my memory of you being anything but a fair and worthy opponent.
Yuck. This is why I stay out of MPSIMS. It gets so lovey dovey in here that you get sticky with it. I need a shower.
Wait. I’ve got an idea…

For some reason the first image that popped into my mind when I read the OP was of a wise old man (that’s Bricker), calmly giving advice from a raft on the high seas, while a shark’s fin with LHoD tattoed on it circles around him. I’m not a veteran or a heavyweight here, but I know smarties when I sees them, and the SDMB is chock full, and Lefty is in the first row.
Congrat’s LHoD! Bricker, Polycarp and other great and respected minds. You can be proud and rightly so. High praise indeed.

Oh, and Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays or whichever applies.
To show you how much I think of LHoD-- when we were looking for new Mods here a few months ago, my first thought was of him.
How could anyone be that even tempered? I always thought that bibliophage, my hero, was the most even-tempered, well-spoken person on the boards. Of course, since I mainly stayed in GQ, that was a given.
But in fairness to the boards and to Daniel, I immediately rejected the thought of proposing him for becoming a moderator on the boards. Why?
Because the boards would lose a person that is everything Bricker says he is. He would become a functionary, and the boards would be the poorer.
So, Daniel, here’s to you and your spirit–the same kind of spirit which lives in tomndebb and bibliophage and a handful of posters on this board. Long may you(collectively) post.
