**Elindil’s Heir** ’s thread about Running for President was one of the better threads I’ve read all month, and even spawned a Run for Canadian Prime Minister thread!

Ummm, post the two-paragraph genuine compliment of me, anyway! 😉 And I didn’t say _mod_, I said _mode_, as in “I’m now in Attention Whore Mode”. I only call _some_ of the mods whores; only the ones who like it.

Forgive my mis-quote, please, I just woke up. :smack:

I thought you might have said something nice to me by now because of the nice things I said about you. But it’s okay, I don’t want to seem like I’m begging. :rolleyes:

**GuyNBlueJeans** has started some really interesting threads. And really, how can you _not_ like a guy in blue jeans? 😉

Seriously, dude, I’d have said something nice about you in my last post, but I didn’t want you to think I was saying something nice about you just because I was responding to you. IOW, I didn’t want it to seem insincere.

Did that make any sense at all? Sometimes I wonder about me.

Ooopps! Sorry! I must post about the last person who posted.

**norinew** has more strength than a lot of people I know in RL, and I always like reading her threads. Even if I do think of her username as **Nori-New**.

Thanks. Yes, it makes some sense.

I guess I just thought you might have said something like, “Oh, that’s so sweet, GuyNBlueJeans, thank you so very much, you made my day!”

But it’s okay; I’ve known for a long time that my “stink of death” vibe permeates the vastness of space, making me a non-entity. Ultimately it’s all about karma, I suppose.

Serious business, Dopers make my day just about every day! 🆒  
And you, sir, may be a _new_ Doper, but you are, indeed, a Doper!

**Kyla** works really hard with her students - and even brings the Dope on board to further their education. And she’s genuinely nice in the couple of emails we’ve sent to each other.

**bigbabysweets2000** is an ornament to Beantown, and would make a far better Presidential candidate than Mitt Romney.
