He sounds like a interesting, intelligent guy. Plus he’s got dimples. 😃**

> Okay, Cowboy, because I never know anything (I believe I was the first to ask Sqrl to explain felching) what is Digital Queer?

A Digital Queer is a gay person who does high-tech things for a living. Personally, my high-tech job is running around madly and clucking… oh, wait, that’s not it. Actually, I do sysadmin and database things (along with end-user support) for the Dark Temple of the Mouse.

If you’re interminably curious, [this page](http://www.glaad.org/glaad/dq/index.html) leads to DQ’s site (they’re a part of GLAAD now).

Ok, Lemmie guess.

Or simply: I’m A Good Friend.

Okay, I can’t stand it any longer. I must reveal my cyber-crush on A Girl. I mean, she’s cute (those eyes!), and she’s a cat person!

Did I mention that people sometimes tell me I bear an uncanny resemblance to Bruce Wayne? The one from the animated series, of course.

Heh, I’ve noticed a few posters here who don’t have capitalized names, so I do try. 🙂

Another reason to not post your online crushes. My apologies, saucy potato. I hereby withdraw my crush.

(Don’t worry, I wasn’t serious, anyway.)

Announcing my crush on alsmith/Scylla after reading that groundhog thread. A sense of humor is very sexy indeed. That said, I’ll also have to include Inky and aha as well as Satan and the others out there. You know who you are.

Ok, the OP called for only naming one person per post. You guys cheated. Milo I have seen your pic and you are a hunk, to put it mildly, but I bet all the girls tell you that. And if my bud **aha** were not married I would run off with him.

ultress -

Given the amount of whining we’ve already had over this thread (me included!!), naming only one person would have been even worse! 🙂

Well, it looks like I’m not supposed to have crushes yet, being a newbie, but I’ll share a few anyway. 🙂

Chef Troy  
Esprix (even though I know it can never be)  
Shayna (you rock…must be the bicurious in me) _grin_

I’m sure as I continue to visit and read I shall learn more of the wonderfully fascinating people here, and develop more crushes.

Well, I have yet to develope crushes or fantasies (Although I do have fantasies of starting a thread where I get complimented by all my favorites…), but I’m developing quite a list of favorite posters around here, even if they just ignore whatever I post.

Wow! Someone resurrected this old thread and actually mentioned me? I’m so flattered! Thank you, Eposia, and welcome to the board! Who knows, the more you post, I might just develop a crush on you, too. 😉
