You can go ahead and order a gravestone, **Guin** , because short of an Act of Congress to the effect of “Everyone will worship Guinastasia tomorrow”, I don’t think a compliment exists superior to **Poly** ’s post.

Must admit, I kinda like Guin too. Even if she is an argumentative, goat-felching, adder-fucker occasionally. (joke, Guin) Is your name really Guinastasia? ---

She and **Opal Cat** are my favorite posters. But I am impressed at Guin, just by memory I collected this quick list: Liberal? Check Likes to draw? Check. Loves history? Check. Looking for a Job? Check. Interested in Latin-American politics? Check. Commented on my first post? Check. I found my soul mate! 😉 Crud. Look at the distance! Plus I am a former Catholic while she is still one (?) Oh well, I can dream! 😉 More realistically, I have to say that I will consider her the lady of my thoughts, my Dulcinea, as I go forth and continue my fight against ignorance. . . Darn, in reality she is Don Quixote! She is the one doing all the fighting! How many times she is there with an even better answer, than the one I would then never post, because it turned into a redundant one! (If it weren’t for her, I would be the one without a life! 😃 ) Here is to you! Happy 8000th post **Guin**!!! ---

Aye, **Guin** , who selflessly threw herself at the mercy of Ayn Rand for the cause of the Straight Dope! Glory be! 😉 ---

It’s Kathleen, or Kathi, or Kat. Whichever. Guinastasia is a combination of Guinevere and Anastasia. I’m not really a practicing Catholic, btw. More of a Catholic who doesn’t go to Mass and has Unitarian/Universalist beliefs. 8000-I’m not sure if that’s good or bad. It sounds cool, but doesn’t it make me obsessed? :o ---

Congrats, **Guin**! Allow me to add to the pile-on? I love **Guin** , too. She’s thoughtful, sometimes insightful, funny, smart, and every other good thing that is slipping my mind right this second. I can’t recall ever having had a direct conversation with her, but I’ve always admired her from afar. Here’s hoping that someday I’ll get to know her better, and I look forward to reading her next 8000. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/we-love-guinastasia/106856.md?page=1)
