Fellow Nexlings:
As you know, I am probably the craziest, most bipolar poster here, and you guys all made me feel like that was normal. Thank you!
I know that I’ve often been up and down, in and out (no ick intended), and at times have been called the “barometer of the thread”. I take that as a compliment. I’ve never been afraid to say what I’m thinking, and although that’s gotten me a few spankings, I hope that it’s at least provided you guys with entertainment and occasional insights. With me, what you see is what you get (which is why many of you feel sorry for my wife and Cheetara ).
I just want to take this moment to thank, first of all, the Mods here.
Steven, you’ve been so frakking patient, I have no idea how you do it. But you’ve been the rudder of our crazy boat, and you deserve that free Nexus more than anyone here. I’m so glad we could do that for you.
OTD, it’s always cool to have a hot chick who is also a geek at heart. Your posts have always been entertaining and helpful, and I know this thread would’ve been borderline sucky without you in it.
EarlyMon, everyone here knows that we’ve had our occasional spat, but after I came back, I was pleasantly shocked to see what a humble, awesome guy you are. Your insights (and there are many, from the technical side to the weird info side) have always been extremely helpful and this thread would have been much less without you.
And to the rest of the posters, you guys have been AWESOME! You’ve all left such a huge thumbprint on the whole Nexus experience for me.
Chief, with your wacky sense of time,
BB, with your inappropriate yet absorbing avatars and multi-quote walls,
Dawnierae, with your hilarious PM’s and mutual love for Dexter,
Nexusprimepls, for your loyalty and kindness,
Scott, for your unreasonable optimism that made us all smile,
MmcCraryNJ, for practically forcing me to not get the HTC device when I had the chance,
IndecisiveElle, for being such a kind soul towards my favorite beings on the planet (dogs),
TheRoosevelt, for the funniest and best post in the whole frakking thread (Hitler),
Grandma, for your sense of humor and occasional expressions of fearing death,
Zedster, for being the resident hacker (still waiting on BB’s webcam access),
Dreadnatty08, for twitter bombing the crap out of me to come back,
MrLink, for providing the post that convinced me to return,
Namrak, for always making me laugh with his chimp face even when he was being serious,
The Love Tunnel, for keeping us from getting too low and for really caring about our emotions,
My stupid boss for not firing me (yet),
Cheetara, for being my sister and putting up with me for 31 years,
PrincessLeia, for marrying me and for being almost patient during these hectic months,
and so many more that I can’t possibly think of at this time but really appreciate. You guys made this frakking thread what it is, and it’s epic.
I think I’ve invested a bit too much emotion into this phone and forum over the past few months, but that’s just the way I am. My wife and Cheetara say I’m an extremist, and they’re not wrong. But I am so happy that I got to be obsessed over this thing with similarly crazy and deranged people.
I love you guys!
