> That's ignoring the 100% extra credit that goes to Sam for giving us a forum to have the thread in, plus a bonus 5% for bringing the whole who-started-the-thread thing into question in the first place. :) (I get 2% for making mention of it, though.)

Ack! Would you cut that OUT? I am getting SO annoyed by your constant need to humble yourself before Sam. Yes, Sam has created a website we all enjoy. Yes, we are thankful because of the friendships we have formed here. Many - if not all - of us *have* thanked Sam at one point or another.

However, he is not some great demi-God. He is human. He has made friends here, just as the rest of us have. He doesn't sit over our heads, glaring down at us in some evil fashion. He doesn't need the offerings of your praise to be appeased and not do something evil. He is just as prone to mistakes as the rest of us - you're allowed to argue with him without fearing for your life.

Correct me if you really do enjoy it, sam... but if I were Sam, the conmstant repition of your praise would devalue it greatly. in any case, it annoys me more every time I read it.

Ki"gee, great way to introduce myself to Arthur. Hi, how ya doin?"ki
