Well look who just wondered into this thread. Boy do I feel like a dodo. What the heck is today, (clicks the time in the lower right hand corner), the 21th of March and this went up the 16th. My apologies for the late thanks to all of you and and for the amazing extra effort some of you went to. I'm blown away. I hope that's not unintelligible.
Thanks you all for everything!
While I've no doubt that the mods are indeed crazy,

I try to remember my suspicion that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Whatever eliteness anybody saw in me was what is really present in them. That's just how it works.
Thanks Wombat. I am simply staggered by your being and fail in every way to communicate my feelings in words.
Luv2chill, Wow, wow, wow. Dang that gets me. My heart aches to be worth it.
Ornery, let us drain our cups to the bottom. Cheers!
linuxboy, knock it off.
BettyBoop, really really cool, thanks
RossMAN, thanks for the link.
Harvey, much respect here for you, thanks
Same to you Red Dawn. Having you around makes it a lot easier for me to be kinder and gentler, not because of the comparison, but because anything I might want to say would only be superfluous.
Klee58 thanks and thanks for being the kind of person who would want to include a disclaimer of personal credit. I give you more credit for that than if you had made it. Just finding it and posting is really nice.
Kamian, I see I made your sig.
jhu, How should I know. I sent you the money you asked for to become elite. You are the one who said you knew who to pay off.
Thought for the day:
"When the chips are down, the buffalow is empty
Ah, there do mushrooms grow
A kind that visions make
you know"
