[me b zola]

10. Finally! I've been recognized and appreciated!

Thank you, thank you, thank you all! I would like to thank my fur babies, none of this would have been possible without their love and support.

[Lochloosa]

30. Fumesucker wasn't talking about you....

[me b zola]

58. Of course he is, its right there in the OP

[ProfessorGAC]

11. Nice Touch!

A nice thing, indeed.

[NuclearDem]

20. K&R. Except for NuclearDem. That guy's kind of an asshole.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

26. heeeeeeeee!

[Fumesucker]

33. Without assholes we would all be full of shit

Assholes are important.

[petronius]

38. Minus one...

[Rex]

68. Not really, he is not very good at pretending to be an asshole.

Trumad thinks he is good at it too, but ain't.

[NuclearDem]

69. I know, right? Who the fuck does this ND guy think he is?

[Rex]

70. Well only he would know for sure, so when we see him let's ask!

[NuclearDem]

71. No chance of that. He's probably being off an unconvincing asshole somewhere.

[Rex]

72. For everytime he is an asshole on the internet, some troll gets the axe in cyberspace.

So maybe ND works in mysterious ways that leaves our mortal minds confused and bewildered.

[bullwinkle428]

21. K&R - there are lots of DUers who make this place such a great site to

spend time at every day.

[Android3.14]

22. Finally!

I feel so special. Thank you.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

doing what some folks do in a circle

[whatchamacallit]

[Rex]

75. It's packman fever all over again!

[FailureToCommunicate]

35. Hoi polloi of DU salute you for your appreciation thread !

I often WISH I could contribute more that was "remarkable, informative, or entertaining" and I am

in awe of all of you that are at that level of posting.

Thanks, Fumesucker, for the nod toward us little guys.

[trof]

37. Thank you all. I am underwhelmed.

[Helen Borg]

39. Now I have one! :)

[LiberalLovinLug]

40. Ah shucks...

We deserve it!

What an awesome community! My favorite place on the internets!

[mainstreetonce]

41. Yay me

Clap clap

[femmocrat]

42. Why thank you, kind sir (or ma'am?)!

But I didn't do it by myself. I would like to share this with the team.

[DinahMoeHum]

[Fumesucker]

[Octafish]

49. K&R

Cheers to those unsung DUers who make DU a better place...



...especially including an urban bike rider famous for cutting through the crapola.

[hrmjustin]

51. Thank you.

[Kali]

52. I am sure this must be a meta-ish response to something else, but I DO like the sentiment.

So since I have no clue what it is in reaction to, I will give a K and R.

[Fumesucker]

54. DU kind of reminds me of High School

A rather small subset of the whole gets the great majority of attention and accolades while most go unrecognized. I saw it happen in school when I was in and then watched it happen again with my kids and now with my grandkids.

I think we can all be cool kids, if only for a day or even fifteen minutes.

[Jesus Malverde]

77. Exactly.

[Fumesucker]

78. I actually got the idea for the thread from this...

Watch the first 45 seconds and you'll see.

[robbob]

84. Ah, you beat me to it!

When I saw the thread title I immediately went searching for this clip!

[catrose]

53. thank you very much

[glinda]

55. Very nice!

[kickysnana]

56. Thank you, you are too kind.

[Rex]

57. What did I miss?

[Blue_In_AK]

59. Oh, thank you.

Occasionally people appreciate me, but only in subthreads.

[carolinayellowdog]

60. those of us who have never had a post hidden

thank you for your recognition, and deplore the fan club syndrome that rewards those whose aggression is so constant that they keep getting time outs-- only to be acclaimed on their return

[Blue_In_AK]

61. +1

[Fumesucker]

65. I've had a few hides, maybe five altogether since DU3 but I'm not positive

DU is like being in the Coliseum sometimes; Hail Skinner we who are about to die salute you!

I do applaud you for never getting a hide, I'm too snarky and sarcastic to go completely hide-free.

[awoke_in_2003]

62. Finally- someone gets my greatness

[Dont call me Shirley]

63. Oh Thank You so very much for the Thread of Appreciation!

I finally feel appreciated!

I would like to thank Fumesucker from the bottom of my heart!

[lovemydog]

64. Some of my favorite posts here

are by people who don't post much.

Every now and then I'm like 'That was really funny' or 'That was super informative.' And I hadn't noticed the poster before.

Thank you to all the infrequent & thoughtful & fun posters here.

[madokie]

66. You're after my heart

What! You weren't talking to me? Now I'm heartbroken,

[calimary]

67. Awwww... you've got a good heart, Fumesucker!

Thank YOU!

[marble falls]

73. I owe it all to clean livng and filthy liquor. We appreciate you!

[cui bono]

74. And that includes Name Removed.

They helped with the entertaining aspect.

[Fairgo]

88. Name removed is my favorite

Always knows just what to say...

[Owl]

76. Excellent!

[BlueJazz]

79. Sally Fields

[Petrushka]

80. Aw-w, shucks! (** bow, curtsey, blush **)

[ConservativeDemocrat]

81. You appreciate me?!?

Well, I never!

[Fumesucker]

86. You make me think, challenge my assumptions and you are reasonably polite

I don't need anyone to agree with me, it's nice but strictly optional as far as I'm concerned. If two people are thinking just the same then one of them isn't doing any thinking, yes?

[Dragonfli]

82. I knew my fifteen minutes of fame would come someday!

I would like to thank the DU Academy, My dog Jackie and of course the invisible sky deity that I wasn't sure existed until just now!

(I wanted a tiara but could only find a crown graphic)

[akbacchus_BC]

83. Are you meaning SYC?

[akbacchus_BC]

85. Great thread Fume. So sorry for all the DUers who have left!

Either on their own or got banned. A lot of good DUers got banned but your thread is about appreciation and I high five you.

[Sanity Claws]

87. I'm taking a bow and thanking you

[Scootaloo]

89. Oof, it's like the school talent show all over again...
