Hey. If it weren’t for this place I wouldn’t be sitting here watching my SO and his housemate (\*Reinhold Messner[/i} and _webguy1000_ on this board) play Halo. No really, I’m grateful. No. Really. ---

I can’t believe I’ve never seen a thread like this before. If there’s anyone who deserves appreciation, it’s TubaDiva. A zillion years ago, when I first started posting on the SDMB, most of the mods and admins were just reg’lar posters, like you and me. CK Dex, Lynn, and Euty were members, not staff. Well, Lynn _was_ the C&P Queen, so that’s something. But Jenny has _always_ been staff. For years now, she has been an important part of what makes the SDMB the SDMB. The dedication to _The Straight Dope Tells All_: > [@](#): > > To Jane and **Jenny** and the rest of the Straight Dope’s far-flung online staff, on whose tireless efforts Cecil has come to depend, and whose loyalty is doubtless sustained in large part by the fact that they don’t actually have to be in the same room as him. Cecil said it. I believe it. That settles it. ---

From 1996 and on, **Tuba** has been wonderful to me and has handled all the problems have taken to her with grace and dignity. **Tuba** is the greatest. 🙂 ---

I think Jenny is great. What I love best, though, is her ability to swoop down like an avenging angel, lock down a thread, ban an ijit, and be offline playing with her dogs faster than a speeding bullet. Makes me feel all squishy to think about it. All my best and most respect go to She Who Must Be Obeyed, b. ---

**Tubadiva** has, on occasion, provided invaluable assistance to the administrators on the G’Dope board. As that board is not officially part of the SDMB, her help was, IMHO, definitely above and beyond the call of duty. We emailed her asking _X_, and recieved a very patiently written and detailed response with a complete rundown of not only _X_, but also _Y_, and _Z_. The SDMB is lucky to have her. ---

TubaDiva, you’ve handled such a broad scope of human mish mash for so long so long, with an ace eye and good heart. We all owe ya so much, for being on duty in the wee and dark hours to keep this place going. I hope that every hour you’ve spent keeping others going flies up and yond on the same strong wings, and comes back to you to the umpteenth power. Much love and appreciation for all you do, Jenny, with several heartfelt oompahs, too. You are the Best! ---

Without Jenny, there would not be a Weird/North household. I’ve always been fond of the Brass, my own self. And a redhead, too boot? Ginger French Horn and Baritone, FP Walshe HS Band. ---

It’s obviously true, and it’s already been said better than I could say it, by people with more authority than I have, but I have to add: yup. **TubaDiva/Jenny** is the cat’s pajamas and we’re lucky to have her around. ---

Awww, isn’t this thread sweeeeet! 🙂 I don’t know **TubaDiva** personally, but I do most definitely appreciate her efforts. If it wasn’t for her and the mods, the SDMB wouldn’t be the wonderfully addictive place it is. [giggle] You take care of yourself, hon. I wish you all the joy you can hold. 😃 ---

Please excuse **Celestina** …she has been inducted into **Jester** ’s club and can’t get out of character, thus the giggle. 🙂 [sub]Alternately, she has been imbibing New Years Cheer, which is fine too. I am sure she will let us know by chastising me if I am wrong on both counts. Which HAS been known to happen. At least once…well, maybe twice. Or so.[/sub] 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-tubadiva-appreciation-thread/145979.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-tubadiva-appreciation-thread/145979.md?page=3)
