I know he’s little/no clue who I am, but I can count on one hand the number of people I admire or respect more than he. ---

Good show, **Polycarp**. And by the way, this is only the second time I’ve posted in a post-count party thread; the first was in your 7,000-post hurrah. Thanks also for the cheerful and informative answer when I sent you an e-mail a few months ago. ---

You guys are so wonderful!!! 🙂 But, while I was nonchalantly posting away with my usual run of opinions and trivia, some of you were over in the Pit quite literally saving a life – **Siege** , **No Clue Boy** (whom **Siege** and I agree is the board’s greatest misnomer), **kambuckta** , etc. If that doesn;'t speak volumes about what this board is really all about, I don’t know what does. After Barb and Chris, finding this community has been the third great gift of my life, and I don’t have the words to express my ongoing joy at the privilege of knowing and sharing with you all. ---

> [@](#): > > _from **Polycarp** _ > Ask the Multifishes: I’ve toyed with the idea over the years of starting an “Ask the…” thread, but I have no idea what the focus would be. Certainly my religious faith, and the background knowledge I have about it, could prove interesting – but that’s not the extent of what I would want to talk about, and of what people might want to ask. Izzat something I ought to be doing? Or is it a bit of egocentrism? Shoot, just plain ol’ “Ask Polycarp” would be a huge hit. You’re one of the biggest reasons I’ve become quite addicted to the SMDB. Congratulations, and let there be 10,000x10,000 posts more! ---
