Now that I have endless hours in which to play around on this thing, I’ll make up the rest of my list here and now. 😃 (same caveats apply to this list as to the other one) I forgot to mention a couple more things about **SPOZ** , so I’ll do so now… **Spoz** : you’re intelligent, very musical, and have sent me humorous things to keep me laughing. Heck, even your music makes me laugh for some odd reason. Sometimes, you just keep me sane and together. Thanks again… you rock! 😃 Kempy and G: Both of you have given me perspectives on life / love / the war / etc. It’s been good getting to know you both, and I hope we can continue. Thanks for cheering me up, as well. Mike C.: Thanks for cheering me up, and for sending me those interesting emails! Definitely I should email you soon… just don’t know when. Dave (in Australia): I’ve been terrible at keeping in touch, even though you forward me some interesting stuff. But thanks for being a godo friend, and listening to me. I should email you, as well. The J Man: Thanks for being who you are, and for being my “birthday buddy.” 😉 Defintely have enjoyed talking to you for the past eighteen months or so… we’ve shared a lot. Should talk to you more often, I know. **Q.E.D.** : You’ve managed to beat my posting rate when I first joined these forums, and you definitely know a LOT more than I do! That alone gets major respect in my books. **Homebrew** : It’s been good talking to you… you’ve opened up my eyes to different things. I respect you a lot, and try to extend the same kindness to others that you’ve shown me. **DAVEW0071** : From the first, I’ve always liked your posts… and admire you for being the person you are. You don’t know me well at all, but I am sincere in what I say here. **Scotticher** : You’ve been an awesome friend to have, and have given me advice and plenty of love. You’re truly caring and compassionate to me and others, and I hope someday I’ll be able to extend the same to the people in my life. **Cruktar** : It’s always been fun talking to you… we definitely have humor, empathy, and a bunch of that other stuff going on. 🙂 **LeeJam** : Thanks for being a good friend to me, and discussing a lot of stuff with me. I wish only the best for you. **Xan** : You once said that I was a saint for putting up with you. I’m not so sure I’m a saint, but if that’s true… then you’re an absolute sweetie for putting up with me. It’s been fun getting to know you, and we can talk anytime. **ResIpsaLoquitor** : It’s definitely been fun getting to know you, and I’m sorry for not keeping in touch more often. But you’ll always have a place in my heart, and don’t you dare try and steal it either. 😉 **Kal** and **Washte** : It’s been truly good getting to know you, and I hope things get better for you. I like the interesting perspective you hold on things, and the things I learn from you are just mind-opening. **BlackKnight** : It’s been great getting to know you, and I like your humor / compassion / perspective on things. **jackelope** : Thanks for being who you are to me, and for the myriad conversations we have about a lot of topics. It’s definitely been interesting getting to know you. **iampunha** and **fizzestothetop** : It’s been a pleasure getting to know you both, and I wish you all the best for the future. Your perspective on things has been interesting, and you’ve helped me with more than you’ll ever know. F\_X ---

I’m finding names I missed, despite an attempt to hit everybody. **Fizzes…** , **Uke Ike** , **Dex** , **Crunchy Frog** … And if I try a second list, there’ll still be people I forget! IRL, in addition to Dopers I know IRL, there would be my beloved wife the **Skulldigger** , of course, to start the list, my three boys – homeless teens we took in and whom I consider my sons in spirit if not any legal connection; their wives and children, especially my boy Chris, his wife Joann, and their three younguns, Amanda, Brandon, and Jordan – the latter particularly, now six and all boy, full of love and mischief, cute and aware he is, but with the kind of flair that can carry it off without conceit, is the joy of my life. Chris’s sister Nickie. Jay, who saved my life and who was instrumental in my meeting Chris, his wife Andi and their boy Alex (whom I’ve never seen IRL, despite his being nearly two). Hey, how come nobody listed **Wildest Bill**? :eek: ---

I wasn’t going to post in this thread, because I would have to make a huge extensive list of Dopers I like and appreciate. And I thought, “Who on earth would have that much consideration and patience to make a long list?” Leave it to **Polycarp**. What a great guy. I mean, I may just be repeating what everyone has already said about him, but that’s because it’s true. **Poly** , you deserve all the respect you get here. Thanks for putting me on your list. ---

I’ve been on the Boards for over two years. I was expecting just a place to have a little fun and to fight a little ignorance. Instead, I discovered a community of caring, wonderful people, some of whom have become the best friends I could ever imagine. I won’t do a list, because I’ll be sure to forget some people and I don’t want to forget anyone. Needless to say, I’m very glad for every one of you. Those I’ve only interacted with here, those I’ve talked to via IMs or on the phone, those I’ve met once or twice, and those that I’ve met several times… you all have enriched my world and my life more than you can ever know. Thank you for being there, and being such an important part of my life. And thank you all for letting me be a part of yours. [sub]And thank you, **Crunchy Frog** and **Polycarp** for your kind mentions of me. It means the world to me.[/sub] ---

Thank you to **Polycarp** and **Crunchy Frog** for the honorable mention. I love you guys right back. I love **UncleBill** , even if he did get me knocked up. I’d make a list of all the other Dopers I love, but I’m afraid I’d forget somebody. I’ve met a lot of wonderful, wonderful people (and a few total dipsticks) through this place, and I’m very grateful (or worried). ---

Thanks, **Polycarp**. I think this is the first time in three years on the Dope that I’ve been mentioned in a thread like this _sniff_. I don’t think I could put together a list like this. I’d leave out too many people. Well, I guess I could put together a few. **Polycarp, Anthracite, Fierra, Steve Wright, bean\_shadow, tavalla, galen ubal, Rubystreak, ruadh, Crunchy Frog, Michael Ellis, cjhoworth, Esprix, matt\_mcl, scott evil, LaurAnge, Jeff\_B, Eve, Boyo Jim, Coldfire and Heloise, Johnny L.A., Celtic Cowboy, Rilchiam, Flamsterette\_X, Scotticher, Primaflora, Big\_Nik (thanks for the World Cup vids, mate 🙂 ), Wonko the Sane, Fairy Chat Mom, Fairy Chat Moose, Libertarian, tomndebb, Gyan9, kiwiboy, hawthorne, kambucta, greco\_loco, ElwoodCuse, lel, all the moderators, Cecil Adams and Ed Zotti**, and I better stop now before I pass out. And, since no one else said it, **Jack Dean Tyler** , to whom I owe my one moment of SDMB Glory–a place on **OpalCat** ’s Classic Posts Hall of Fame. Oh, you too, **Opal**. 🙂 ---

I’m not naming names because these things tend to get outta hand (as I found out much to my delight about a year ago), but suffice it to say, if I love ya, you know it! And I love my best friend and ex-girlfriend (one in the same) and my dog, Zuzu. ---

**Copie** and **Poly** , you guys are really cool… I especially like how you keep adding _bunches_ of names to this list. True love is never diminished by spreading it out over many people… you multiply it, you see… (that’s what my late Grandma used to say…grhs\*) 🙂 need a “so happy I’m crying” smiley \*God rest her soul ---
