I think I say this once every few years, but it's worth repeating every so
often--when it comes right down to it, no matter what gets said here in a rant
or a tiff or a tirade, people here (in o.t-d, and also elsewhere on LUGNET) are

of the various people I interact with on this weird and wonderful thing we call
the internet, you guys are first rate.
This little part of the thread made me smile, in a 'we're all just good friends
here' kinda way.
Thanks.
