Wow. What can I say? This is the exact reason I post on here is to be recognized like this. :smirk: Obviously, I'm kidding.
Though this is "just" a message board, I do feel honored to be recognized in this unique way. It's weird to realize that it was almost 4 years ago when this board was created and I was almost here from the very beginning (missed it by a couple weeks).
There've been some memorable posters along the way (I particularly miss BGS and all her posting goodness) and I have always enjoyed coming here to smack Steeler fans and the one Brown fan who shows up and love the debates I find myself in in the Politics and Religion subforum. I consider you all as friends (except you, HUR, you're just an acquaintance :tongue:).
Okay, this is starting to sound more like a retirement speech than an acceptance speech. So, let me finish with the words of a Christmas card a very dear friend sent me this past year (no, not you BJ, nor you eox): "Trophies are always nice; recognition is always welcome; but there is nothing, NOTHING, like being the best ever and rubbing everyone else's nose in it. Signed, the Roonies"
With that, I say, 'Thank you' to all who think I deserve this and a big [the letters following E and T] to the rest.
God bless you all.
