Hi all. I just was thinking about posters who I think are pretty good people - who always have a great attitude, show sensitivity, intelligence, humor, friendship. And I kept thinking about our dear **Spider Woman**. Whose postings and contributions I really like a lot. So let’s have a Happy Thread to say how much we appreciate our favorite spider - **Spider Woman**! Spider, I like you a lot, for the reasons mentioned above. Please, don’t stop! I would elaborate more, perhaps, but I’m a little sleepy from travelling all day. 🙂 Sincerely, Una ---

Spider Woman your thoughts on another thread were greatly appreciated as were a couple of other posters including yours Anthracite. 🙂 ---

> [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Spider Woman {re Sweet Sue}_ > \*\*She usually puts the message in tiny script in parentheses somewhere. I haven’t figured out if she is posting from a foreign country, and that is why all the different types of characters, or from some sort of super-technical keyboard. I did write her an e-mail asking about it, but she never responded. However, she is never unkind, and I think her posts add a little variety and color, not unlike SILENT BOB’s posts. \*\* \*\*sub{\*nevergotheemailtho??}         [/sub]O         º       sub)[/sub]         +         A         " \*\* ---

I think she was upset with me for a few microseconds over a vegetarian argument. We kissed and made up though. And believe me, you haven’t lived until you’ve gotten a little spidey nibble. 😉 /({[{[(/Spider})]//})] [sub]mmm…cyber flirting. I kinda feel all tingly[/sub] ---

I’ve never had any direct or indirect contact with **Spider Woman** over the boards, yet I’ve noticed that she is a kind hearted and very popular poster. We could use more such individuals. I would also like to hijack this briefly to praise **Anthracite** , and mention that I read her pit thread. I think she also contributes a great deal to this board, yet I wished to obey her request not to make a sympathetic post to that thread. Fine, I’ll make a sympathetic post to _this_ one. Finally, I’ll point out that the individuals who start threads such as these about other people are often every bit as deserving of praise as the subject poster. My appreciation to you both. ---

Spider Woman, you are definitely one of a very few here that I’d welcome into my home. I figure you’d be a classy houseguest and a joy to hang with. So should you find yourself in northeast Florida… ---

**spider woman** , you are one of my favorite posters here. You are always kind, and you put a lot of thought into your posts. I enjoy your sense of humor—and your limericks, too.🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-spider-woman-appreciation-thread/37941.md?page=2)
