Your words of sincere appreciation are sincerely appreciated šŸ˜› No, really. What more can we expect of each other in this pseudonymous virtual space? Hereā€™s to thousands more posts. And yeah, the total psychos and one-trick-ponies do seem more memorable. But if what someoneā€™s remembered for is annoying others itā€™s a poor fame. ---

You remind me of my favorite non-existent uncle. Totally enthralled by your stories, ready to be poured a drink and looking forward to whatever whacky gift is for Christmas. I say youā€™re a keeper because youā€™re one of the good ones. Rock on with your bad self. ---

I remember the first board interaction I had with you. You told me to 'Kindly shut up" šŸ˜› I could post the thread, but it was 15 years ago, so who cares. And. . . I kinda deserved it, as I had said something snide to someone who didnā€™t deserve it. ---

> [@faithfool](#): > > You remind me of my favorite non-existent uncle. Totally enthralled by your storiesā€¦ You LIKE my stories? Need I remind you they tend to be rambling and pointless? Much like my fiction, they start halfway in and they donā€™t really end, like a segment of life. Drove my teachers crazy. I want to be clear that I am not fishing for compliments. I feel I have clear idea of my lack of talent, and that anybody who suggests otherwise is wrong. I write because I have to, and this place gives me a captive audience. Like writing filler for a newspaper, maybe somebody will read it. But itā€™s nice of you to humor me. ---

Hey now **dz**! You started here around the same time I did, and this sure place isnā€™t the same as it was back then, but weā€™re both still here for some reason. I guess what Iā€™m saying is, wow, youā€™ve posted a lot more than me! ---

Not saying thatā€™s a good thing though. šŸ˜› Well, shucks, maā€™am, Iā€™d say it was unintentional, but itā€™s not.

> [@Shayna](#): > > Pshaw. This place wouldnā€™t be the same without you. Carry on, friend **dropzone**! That means a lot because I have some recollection that we had a falling out once. No details; probably something stupid I said, hopefully while impaired. And get **Spiny** back here!\* I always liked his perspective. And Iā€™m starting to like Biden, if only to see your and Elvisā€™ heads explode. Nothing personal; itā€™s just politics. And I always liked Biden for president. šŸ˜‰ - - Said with some trepidation because Iā€™m not up on things. Forgive me if needed. :o ---
