Hey **Duke** , thanks a lot! 🙂 I honestly don’t know what I did to end up on your list… I’m just happy right now.

While listening to my new Matt Good _Avalanche_ CD, I heard a line that’s almost too perfect to describe what we’ve got going on here:

> [@](#):
>
> you are an important part of the computer

(from “Near Fantastica”)

That line describes all the people I’ve mentioned on my ongoing list, even my real-life friends. Heck, they have importance to me beyond the computer / Internet realm, but they definitely count! 🙂

I realize that we’ve met various others in real life, or knew each other in real life already before interacting on this board, but that’s a good line. (and no… I am NOT obsessed with Matt Good, no matter what **Spoz** says :p)

I’ve thought about it and decided that I had to add some more names to my list… so many names, so little memory / brainpower on my part…

**Copaesthetic** : you started this list… and for that, I thank you.

**FairyChatMom** : thanks for being the person you are to me and others… it’s much appreciated.

**NoClueBoy** : you’re just so cool. 🙂

**tavalla** , **galen ubal** , **Tanquilis** , and **whatami** : you’ve all touched me in your own special ways, and I thank you for it.

**imthjackaz** : for being so kind to me when I didn’t deserve it.

**cjhoworth** : I keep meaning to email you, but this will have to do for now. You’ve been so insightful and understanding to a lot of people on this board… I wish I could be like that.

**Crunchy Frog** : thanks for talking to me and hearing me out on a certain issue a few months ago… I appreciated that very much.

**Esprix** : I enjoy your posts, and long may you run, dude. 🙂

**Davebear** : I recently started noticing your name around here, and from what I’ve seen… you’ve been great in my books. 🙂

**wring** : thanks for being who you are. 🙂

**Cerowyn** : thanks for listening to me talk about a bunch of things… you’ve been a good friend to me, and I love you for it.

**rjk** and **Zyada** : it was a pleasure meeting **Zyada** over the weekend, and **rjk** knows I like him anyways! 🙂

**Larry Mudd** : thanks for being who you are, and for the occasional emails and meetings… just don’t try to take my stuff from me and hide in the shadows for laughs next time, okay?

**Dirty Earthworm** : Thanks for all those talks we had… I especially thank you for your advice to me last week.

**everyone else who’s shown me some bit of kindness on these boards**

More to come later, perhaps…

Alas, someone who gets it.  
If somebody isn’t abusing puppies ([killing kittens](http://www.hosstyle.com/Goofy%20shit/images/godkillssmall.jpg) is another thing) then I have nothing but [love](http://www.livejournal.com/users/imthjckaz/73622.html) for them.

Love baby, that’s where it’s at.

Thank you! That’s awfully nice of you. I _am_ kind of a talkative bugger, ain’t I?

I feel badly that I can’t really contribute to this list. While there are quite a few posters whose wit, wisdom, warmth, style, and/or sexiness has endeared them to me, I really don’t know any of them very well, yet. (Too busy yapping, I guess.) But, I hope and expect to.

Sorry, I got caught up in some **Aesiron** banter. Will be back with my list soonish\*, I promise.

The Norse called him Loki and some Native Americans referred to him as Coyote. :dubious:

I’m not invisible! Yahoo! I got mentioned in a “who’s cool” thread! (I’d definitely be doing a mischievous-type dance of joy if I didn’t have a big lump of purring kitty in my lap right now.)

Thanks **XJETGIRLX** – right back at you!

Ah, but **Twickster** , haven’t you heard? All kitties LOVE it when you do dances of joy with them! Just jump right up and try it. I’ll bet your big lump of happy cat will do some dancin’ on her own.

**Davebear** …Words failed me a long time ago and a chance of that getting better any time soon doesn’t seem too likely. I think that you know how I feel.

So, **NoClueBoy**. I love you for your God comment. What would you rather us call you? 😉

**Rhino’sHoney** is definitely someone whose posts I’ve reading a lot of lately. I enjoy her a good deal.

**Johnny L.A.** and **FairyChatMom** have always seemed really cool. And I always get a kick out of **Euty**.

I wouldn’t have expected my name to pop up in this thread. So it was a great pleasure to see that it did, courtesy of **Polycarp**.

I think you can trust that you were observed making pithy and meaningful, or witty and joy-inducing posts (for both of which you are noted) by **Copa** , who is a recent registrant who has made a major impact in GD, to my great pleasure. I’m fairly confident he was a longtime lurker over the shoulder of his wife **XJETGIRLX** prior to that, though.

**Poly** ’s got it on the nose. Definitely a joy inducing post, and brave and courageous at the same time. I didn’t post to that thread though. Maybe this rings a bell 😉

What a very odd thing Copaesthetic. I have by-passed this thread over and over. Its not the type of thread I usually go to. I assumed that so few people noticed me that my name would not pop up and even more to the point I am not comfortable using the word love to express my own feelings.

Oddly, tonight I thought, “aw, just check in.” I’m not sure why. As I said, I don’t usually come to such threads. And just an hour ago you mention me. What an odd thing.

I confess I’m rarely speechless, but now I find myself without the words. I will say only that I am honored to be included in such fne company. Be well.
