Manny, I haven’t been online much recently and when I have it’s usually been just a MPSIMS drive-by so I didn’t know this was going on but I DO want to voice my opinion.

I think you’re doing a fantastic job. You mods are easy targets and I’m sure people don’t realise what a thankless job it can be. But some of us (ie MOST of us) do appreciate it, even if we sometimes forget to tell you.

Thanks guys.

A Thank You Note To All (You too Manhattan)

First things first: (The Praise I Give You All Is; In My Humble Opinion)

To all dopers: Thank you for your participation in my threads. This means all of you, whether you agree with me or not. This is free speech at its finest.

To all moderators: Thank you for your guidance and occasional corrections to my thread placements. From all that I have seen, you do a really fine job. I especially appreciate your admonitions to the flame prone when they flare up in an inappropriate forum. (Doper Hat Off)

To the webmaster: Great job. These boards run very smoothly. Out of a hundred posts, only one ever had trouble registering in its correct forum. That constitutes a pretty fine track record of 99% on target. (Poster Hat Off)

Last but not least. To Cecil: What a great place to encounter minds that are still firing on most of their cylinders. Thank you for this wonderful cyberfamily.  
To you dopers who are about to read this, I salute you:

I have posted some funny threads like “How to tell you’ve cut a winning fart”. I have posted some nostalgic threads like, “Favorite Mel Blanc quotes”. And I have posted some downright inflammatory threads like, “A SUV and a BMW almost collide. Whom do you laugh at first?” Your responses to all of them have ranged from very supportive to downright obnoxious, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. If I can’t take it, I sure as heck better not dish it out. It gives me great pride to see how many of my threads have gone on into multi-page extravaganzas. Some, very funny, others quite contentious. The food for thought that I have served up, is well met by the same exact fare that has landed on my own plate. As a scientific person of artistic bent (keyword: Bent), I can only give my heartfelt thanks for all the fun that I’ve experienced and shared.

Thank You All,

Chris

(It was a no-brainer to dedicate my 100th post in this way. Keep up the good work ya’ll.)

WTG Manny, now if you could just get Cecil over here in MPSIMS–that would make you my “new best friend.” 😃
