10,000 posts...how does one say "thanks" in one post?

[flvegan]

For my 10,000th post, I’d just like to give my most sincere thanks to the DU community. I’ve learned more here than probably anywhere else. I’m a much better activist, in every forum, thanks to what I’ve garnered here. My promise, in response to and in thanks for my ongoing education here, is that I’ll never stop. I’ll never give up the fight for what’s right, both in and for this country, but also in and for the world community. I love knowing that I’m a part of the movement that takes this country back, for good.

That said, I’d also like to offer a sincere apology to the DU Mods and Admin over my tenure here. Of my 10,000, I’m sure that several hundred probably deserved to get me thoroughly spanked. You all deserve praise for doing a job that is largely thankless, and likely brings you more negative attention and feedback than it should.

Speaking of Admin, Elad, again, thanks for the VVAR Forum. Though I’m oftentimes the black eye on the face of The Tofu Ghetto, I’m still very thankful.

Additionally, I’ve gained a number of what I’d call “friends” here. I’ve also learned a LOT about respecting others that I disagree with in big ways, too. I’ve actually grown as a person thanks to DU. Shocking? Probably not.

Lastly, if not for DU, LeftyMom would just be another person I don’t know, and never would know, thousands of miles away, rather than what I hope she will be. Yeah, I'll be sappy...I love you, sweetie.

Thanks, DU! Now, on to the next 10,000…

P.S. DUer TruthIsAll could use some good vibes. Peep it:

C’mon…it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t.

In a huge way.

In a huge way.












Well, that worked out nicely. :7

[flvegan]

7. From what I've come to know about you, I KNEW you'd post something

like this for your 10,000 posts. In other words, that you'd make it MATTER.

Well done, flvegan. :applause:

and I must say, it's very sweet to see the :loveya: between you and LeftyMom. Two fine DU'ers, indeed.

Best best best to you. :hug:

[flvegan]

12. That's very flattering. Thank you.

LeftyMom MADE me post that. She's quite the dominatrix, whips and all.

Kidding. Seriously, kidding. She's probably somewhat embarrassed by it all.

[SeattleGirl]

10. Nicely said, flvegan!

And congratulations on 10,000! :hug:

[flvegan]

15. Thank you!

The 5 figure club is amazing. I can't believe that they have folks that just DO this stuff for you.

Wow!!

[bigwillq]

23. My dear flvegan!

Congratulations on 10,000 posts........

You are eloquent, friendly, and sexy! LeftyMom is most lucky, IMHO....

I always look forward to reading what you post, even if I leave no comments.....

Here's to at least 10,000 more!

[flvegan]

29. Thank you, my dear CaliforniaPeggy!!!!

Though 10,000 more of my claptrap might make the powers that be decide to invoke some decision towards value for posts.

[jpgray]

25. "Thanks in one post"

Like that.

"Congratulations in one post"

[flvegan]

30. Just like that?

Glad I got it right. I don't want to make any more the fool of myself...

[Dangerously Amused]

26. So, um... how's that diet down coming along? Any progress...?

Not really? Hmm.



Well, how about now? There must be progress by now, right?



Do you think you can be finished by, oh say... midnight? :7

[flvegan]

27. I'm a bit of a perfectionist...

There's progress, but it's been siderailed by a kick ass new job (as of a couple weeks ago).

I've actually signed on to a new gym, etc, in the time being...

[Dangerously Amused]

31. A kick-ass new job?!

Ooohh, do tell! I've been away you know, so c'mon, spill all the good stuff I've missed! Congratulations, by the way. And you know, if things don't work out I've got another little job for you right here...

[flvegan]

34. To hell with

the job I have. I want the "job" you've got for me...

[Deja Q]

35. Comgrats!

[flvegan]

36. Thanks, Hypno!

Hope all is well with you this evening.
