¡muchas gracias!

[list=A][li]I want to thank all of the wonderful posters (you know who you are) who take the trouble to provide a link to the Straight Dope column when the poster forgets it in the thread. You make my job so much easier. If ever any of you need character references, don’t hesitate to use me.[/li][li]Also I want to commend the friendly souls that frequent this forum for keeping the debates challening, interesting, and polite. A big pat on the fanny to all of you![/li][li]The talented Gaudere has designed a holiday card from the staff of the SDMB to you, our great membership. Please view and enjoy![/li][li]Since no thread in this forum is complete without a link, I will throw in this one, which speaks of gratitude and hopeless causes (e.g. the fight against ignorance)[/li]Who is St. Jude, who is always being thanked in classified ads? (22-Dec-1989)
The column (including Slug Signorino’s illustration) can also be found on pages 144-145 of Cecil Adams’ book «The Straight Dope Tells All»[sup]1[/sup].

moderator, «Comments on Cecil’s Columns»

¡muchas gracias! to you. This is a great place for serious reading up on a lot of mixed topics.

I haven’t posted here much, but I stop by here every day I visit to read the threads. Arnold, to remind people to post links to columns as often as you do takes great patience. You rock. :slight_smile:

Seems only fair to reply with a card for the Staff. This one should fit the nature of the job perfectly:
