Your words of sincere appreciation are sincerely appreciated 
No, really. What more can we expect of each other in this pseudonymous virtual space? Here’s to thousands more posts.
And yeah, the total psychos and one-trick-ponies do seem more memorable. But if what someone’s remembered for is annoying others it’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 you’re a keeper because you’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" 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 didn’t deserve it.
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 don’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 it’s nice of you to humor me.
Congratulations on your milestone of time-wasting. I look forward to catching up with you eventually.
Yep, I do. For some reason, you crack me up. And I seldom go looking to read particular threads just because of who posted last, but you have that effect on me. Not saying that’s a good thing though. 
Hey now dz!
You started here around the same time I did, and this sure place isn’t the same as it was back then, but we’re both still here for some reason.
I guess what I’m saying is, wow, you’ve posted a lot more than me!
“Thanks for putting up with me.”
Am I the only one here who thought this was going to be a goodbye thread?
I remember your name so you must have said something cool more than once. I tend to remember the names of dopers who made me laugh. Thanks for the shout-out.
I think it’s a TVTrope, too, but I don’t dare check.
Well, shucks, ma’am, I’d say it was unintentional, but it’s not. My life’s goal was never to be the next Twain, but for a while it was to be the next Mike Royko. That didn’t happen (mostly because I couldn’t type, so I changed majors), but I am deeply honored to be your “favorite non-existent uncle.”
25,000 posts since May 2000!
You surely do know how to waste time!
[sub]I’ve barely cleared 23,000 and I’ve been here since April 2000[/sub]
Well, aren’t you a sweetie pie. 
Pshaw. This place wouldn’t be the same without you. Carry on, friend dropzone!
I recognize you. I have only a tenth of your output, but I’ve been here a while.
Dropzone, I should be thanking you for putting up with me (and I do)!
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 I’m starting to like Biden, if only to see your and Elvis’ heads explode. Nothing personal; it’s just politics. And I always liked Biden for president. 
You obviously don’t remember that $25… I mean $500 you owe me.
