> [@Bambi Hassenpfeffer](#): > > The linguists I love: Hostile Dialect and Johanna. As a linguiphile, I’m incredibly jealous of Johanna’s working knowledge of all those languages, and I pay attention to anything either of them says in a language thread. In addition, I think Hostile Dialect is an all-around good guy, and I like to read his contributions. Thanks! 🙂 Though I must hasten to add that I wouldn’t yet call myself a linguist, as I’m but an undergrad. I really appreciate it, though! FTR, I get a kick out of hearing your Florida Spanish perspective–there’s nowhere else I can go for that! (I’m jealous of **Johanna** too, BTW.) ---

**John Mace** for being passionate, but realizing that changing one’s mind isn’t a terrible thing. **Siege** for… Being Siege. Couldn’t have survived this long without her. **CandidGamera** for flying the geek flag high and proud! Rock on! ---

I could never begin to list all the Dopers who contributed money, books, letters, etc. to the Book Fairy project over the years. Thank you a billion times over. And of course, my beloved, Sauron. You guys get a taste of his sense of humor here and there…I get it all the time. Which is both a blessing and a curse… But, he is the best husband in the world and I’m lucky every single day to be his wife. ---

There are many people that make this place great, and I always wince at the idea of posting to a thread like this because I can’t name them all and do each justice. But there are some standouts, past and present: My brethern at the Bar and occasional SDSAB writing partner **GFactor** - I can only aspire to his researchy goodness. **pravnik, Billdo, Jodi, and DSYoungEsq** - many conversations over the years that have been illuminating. **Colibri, Qadgop, and Stranger on a Train** and the SDSAB crew in general also, who add value to GQ constantly and correctly! **Left Hand of Dorkness** , although almost always off base politically :), is a great listener and superb debater, and I credit him with several shifts of my own perspective. **Sampiro** , for his amazing ability to turn a phrase and tell a Southern tale. And for (grudgingly 🙂 ) accepting me as a straight man that knows his musical theatre cold. And **Annie-Xmas** , for keeping musical theatre discussion here informed and complete. **Anaamika** , for her proofreading, and for hard wooden chairs. **Tomndebb** ; I cannot decide if the boards gain more from his extensive knowledge of Catholicism or his superhumanly even-handed moderation. **John Mace** , whose picture is found in the dictionary next to “fair minded; see also brilliantly analytical.” **Mr. Moto** , who has shared with me the unenviable position of being in the minority around here on many an issue, and has handled it with grace. **lalenin** , whose love-hate relationship with Cuba touches a chord in my heart. And the dozens of others that aren’t coming to mind because I’m a moron. I didn’t mention you because I suck… ---

[QUOTE=Bambi Hassenpfeffer] **Aesiron** , I think that if you and I had ever lived near each other, we’d’a been good friends. You remind me of myself on numerous occasions, but I don’t hold that against you ;). [/QUOTE] Absolutely. If or when I ever make it down your way, we definitely need to have a 'fest or hang out one on one. I think we’d get along fabulously and I’d love to have a tour guide of South Florida. I’m fascinated by it. ---

I am new! Mostly! I want to say that the dopers I met here in Michigan with cactus waltz were terrific. I distinctly remember them as people, but I would probably mess up their screen names if I were try to remember them. But I think they know who they are, and that they are responsible for my spending $15 to post here as soon as I got home. I hope to see you guys/gals again soon! ---

Twickster has a quick wit & a mischevious sense of humor QED appears to be a renaissance man – cultivating a benevolent interest in many things bbs2k has been very kind to me. I, too, miss Eve. WhatExit is one of my favorites. Qadgop the Mercotan is utterly irreplaceable. Whatever happened to kuwaii tentacle beast? He was kinda insulting, but I liked him. And Inigo Montoya? Oh, wait, I did a search on him & found out. Dang. And who was that guy who wrote the long and hysterically funny posts about things like cow-proof swimming pool covers and gelding his goat? ---
