Such the polymath, from Clean Coal to DSL Networking and points beyond. The brilliance, the passion…ooh la la Anthracite! ---

Can others join in proclaiming love for Mistress Una or is this a private party? At any rate, I guess I’m crashing! Love you, Anthracite! ---

Were I only a lesbian, I might serve her in the ULVAN. I live only to gobble up the crumbs of powerplant and other knowledge that fall from her plate. Anthracite, you rock my world. ---

I’ve always enjoyed your articulate writing and sense of humor. I was very touched by the fact that you were the only one to notice that I went the full distance in the Iron Chef thread. That was very decent of you **Anth** and I really appreciated it. Feel free to post a recipe request over at the Ultimate Recipe Thread anytime, I’ll be happy to oblige. ---

Count me in! - how can you **not** love a gal who can both write erotica and diagnose a coal power plant from the colour of the smoke ? You rock, gal! S. Norman ---

funny story. last night Myself, Yoji, and micilin, met for drinks with Hibernicus. he told us that he looks forward to the day when he can actually get an answer out perfectly that Anthracite won’t need to correct. 😉 (btw, he has a phd. in these matters ) Una, I love reading your posts. from them, I have learned more about lesbianism and power plants than I thought possible. Excelcior!! ---

Oh my…where on Earth did this come from??? (swoons…) :eek: 🙂 I don’t even need cheering up, and people are making me smile more for no apparant reason! I am blessed with an embarassment of good-will, even if I am a reactionary, grumpy bitch a lot of times. Whoa! Thank you **Seth** , and thank you everyone, for yet another unexpected pleasure! ---

I am her welf and she is my una, and she rocks with chicken pox! \<---- a phrase created by some boy I knew when we were little kids, it’s meant as the highest compliment. 🙂 She has such a way with words and women and welfs… _swoon_ ---

I don’t have a whole lot to add here. She is one of my best friends, she is ALWAYS here for me, and I love her bunches! I hope she knows that I am always here for her, too. My prayer is that she will always be as happy as she is today…unless she gets HAPPIER, which would be even better!
