Well, screw you **Q.E.D.** , if I’m taking the time to bake cookies, I’m eating them myself. 😃 ---

Must agree with **JimSox5**. I had always assumed **Q.E.D.** was here for a long, long time!! But damn, you’re even younger than I am!! If I’m not intruding, can I ask how you manage to post so much?!?!? I ask because I’m currently unemployed, with lots of time on my hands, and I can’t even begin to imagine how you manage to post so much!!! And may I impose on you for some of them cookies too? 😃 ---

okay, since I am now such a heartless bastard (this is awesome, I’ve never gotten to have an ego or image before 🙂 ), everybody gets cookies except for **Q.E.D.** Oh, fine, take all you want **Q.E.D.** ---

**Q.E.D.** is the most recent of posters I have felt comfortable openly addressing posts to in the middle of the fray. **Q.E.D.** is also the only person I’ve specifically posted to more than once who hasn’t been banned shortly thereafter. **Q.E.D.** has a username that requires way too much effort to properly type, let alone bold. He’s also got this weird chocolate chip fixation… what about Oatmeal Raisin? Huh? What about that? ---

Oh, come on, **2trew**. . .I can only please so many people at once! If you really want Oatmean Raisin, have somebody open an apology thread for you and I’ll be right over. But this is chocolate chip land, and I hope you brought some milk. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Q.E.D. \* > **i’ve not yet picked a sig, though I’m still open to suggestions.** A good quote if you find this board to be a wide group of interesting people: “There is a great crowd coming one day into our lives, if that be so.” In [context](http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/etexts/n1501_12.htm) it makes a little more sense. ---

**Q.E.D.** was one of the first to welcome me to the boards. I brought you some more chocolate chip cookies, **Q.E.D.**. I promise they aren’t just leftovers from last time. ---

**2trew** - There is not other cookie but chocolate chip. **JimSox5** - Thank you sir. You are a gentleman and a baker. **clayton\_e** - I like it! Now to get **Pholsphr** to translate it into Latin. **slice** - Always glad to welcome a newbie (especially when they bring me cookies). And thanks to everyone for the very kind words. I’m all _verklempt_ now. _sniff_ ---

**Q.E.D.** seems to click on many of the same threads as me, I’m not sure if we have a lot in common or he just posts on all threads! Actually, in General Questions he beats me to the punch on many responses (we must have similar interests), and is an asset to that board. ---

May I apologize in advance for things I may or may not do in the future? Not that I’d do anything mean to **Q.E.D.** , 'cause he rocks. 🙂 ---
