First of all, to a couple of (I think) new-ish mods here, PuzzleGal (ha! I finally got your name right!) and What\_Exit, I think you’re doing a great job. Yes, even when I disagree with you. I believe that you’re trying to do what’s right, what’s good. And to engineer\_comp\_geek, I see what you’re doing, largely behind the scenes, and I appreciate the hard work and the tough decisions.

To David Lynch. You have totally fucking lost it, bro. I appreciate that in a fellow. (I watched Eraserhead with my girlfriend a few years ago, but she has evidently deleted the experience from her mind, so we have a date to watch it again soon.)

To Steven Pinker: thanks, man. I don’t necessarily agree with you on everything, but you have made me think about my thinking more.

Good list. And you had the self awareness to stop before the Oscars playout music began to kick you off the stage!

Can I at least get one of those big shepherd’s crooks to drag me offstage?

As far as this board goes, to Riemann, thorny\_locust, and k9bfriender, I appreciate you. I know that some of us may have had a tussle or two, but I’ll always respect intelligence and good intentions, regardless of anything else.

To the unnamed mod on another message board: Yes, I will fire your ass as soon as I take over your little fiefdom. But you helped the helpless when nobody else could. As much as we loathe each other, I do appreciate that about you.

I appreciate David Lynch’s haircut as it is on his head and not mine.

There is that, yes!
