Thank You Dopers

Thank you for being a fairly intellengent refuge on the internet that I can come to where stupidity is not tolerated - or at least tolerated with its fair share of ridicule.

Thank you for being a place where if you state a fact, you can be expected, if someone doubts the fact, to be asked to back it up. There is no saying that there are laws in existance that don’t exist here. Well, there is, but most people learn darn fast that if you can’t cite it, don’t say it - or at least say it with such huge qualifications we all know you may as well be pulling it out of your butt. (i.e. I can’t find a cite for this but I remember learning in American Civics class that there is a Federal Law against red lollipops on Sunday).

Thanks for being a diverse crowd. Yeah, I know its a special kind of diverse - but compared with the most of the internet communities I’ve been a part of - this is a very diverse group.

Sometimes, I’m out there in the wilds of the internet and its so tiring to realize the Dopers are not the norm.

You’re welcome! Well-stated and I feel the same way!

No, they’re not. I’ve just spent the weekend with one group of the finest human beings on the face of the planet and am now back in touch with the other group.

Thank you for having wit, compassion, integrity, and curiousity. Thank you for teaching me as much as you have.

Oh yes, time to try out the new sig:

They said I marched to a different drummer. They were wrong. It was bagpipes and I was dancing!

We’re not the norm. We’re more the Cliff.
