I bought a Tolkien book on Qadgop’s recommendation.
He was correct.
That is all.
I’ll add my name to the list of admirers. He’s got it together after conquering life’s oh-so-funny hardship called addiction. That makes him kin.
He also tells great stories; the ones that humorously illustrate his job are my favorites.
He also addressed me once, personally! I’m honored. 
Add me to the list of his admirers.
I know someone who knows Qadgop IRL and thinks he’s a good egg too. So it’s not just a big message board put-on.

Who? You can email me the answer if you like. Or dare. 
I too admire QtM. I thank him for sharing his experience, strength, hope, and crazy stories on these boards.
Hinty McHint: He’s an RN who also works in the WI prison system. I don’t know what facility. But he was telling some of his stories from work, and I mentioned this prison doc on the message board who had some doozies. He asked who it was, and I said I didn’t know your name, but you were into sci-fi/fantasy, Tolkien, etc., and he said he knew who I meant. He lives in Ripon, I think, and runs a winter folk concert series there. If that doesn’t peg him for you, let me know!
Nothing to add but complete agreement from a recovering cheese head - QtM = quality.
I believe he is actually treating a childhood friend of mine, who has made some bad life choices.
But keep on keeping on - you add a lot to the boards.
Regards,
Shodan
I’m proud to say that he is my Primary Care Physician.
What?
He says hi, and says you need to get to more of his concerts!
Oh god, one of my patients with internet access??!! Lockdown!!
Yes, I know, we’ve been bad. We’ve been missing quite a few of the regular concert series around here – too busy and all that. But we go whenever we can!
OK, back to the regular Qadgop-worship programming.
Not like he needs even more applause, but add me to the list of QtM fans! I’m certain that it must be tiresome to have a profession which leads people to ask you, even in non-working hours, “so what do you think about this?”. But he handles it all with style, eloquence and grace!
If QtM ever leaves the Dope, it’ll be a black, black day indeed.
Maybe there should be a Wisconsin Dope Fest so we can all meet this awe inspiring person 
I would love to meet some of the Wi Dopers!

Is it true that Qagdop once raised a Canadian girl from the dead during a diphtheria epidemic with just an e-mail, or was that Wilford Brimley?
I heard that during the war, Qadgop shot down a MiG by pointing his finger at it and yelling “Bang!”.
Not true.
It wasn’t my finger that I pointed with.
Yeah, but “I shot a man in Baraboo” doesn’t really have the same ring to it, you know?
Qadgop the Mercotan: So awesome his own daughter thinks he’s cool. 
How about “I shot a man in Rio”?
For non-Wisconsinites we pronounce Rio, Rye-O.

What were you doing standing on a MiG?
