Suitably awed compliment on thread.

Side-note: observation that [these guys](http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=1999-05-25&res=l) also did this a long time ago.

Preemptive apology for snide tone of observation, hurried explanation that it wasn’t meant that way.

Self-deprecating remark.

Desperate attempt to post something clever and be lauded on the SDMB for marvelously tolerant/witty/penetrating insight.

Can’t think of anything.
