Can I just say...

You people are awesome. I mean it--you all amaze me every single day. I can't express in words what it's like to sit back invisibly and just watch what you all do here...the way you think things through without fear, the way you crafts your words (because getting this right is SO important to you), the way you build each other up (minus the "awww, hun" platitudes), the way you respect each other without insisting everyone be perfect. If the legacy of my life has in it some portion of being involved in a tribe like this, I'm happy.

You all are really, really cool.

Bologna! Except, please pronounce it Baloney, because it just sounds better. Your presence here is very well accepted.

We do not know how to function in pure peace. Chaos is where we flourish!

Where does the spelling for Bologna come from anyway. It's like Catsup...or is it ketchup? Seriously, between luncheon meats and condiments, this has my mind all abuzz. (I need a life, don't I?)

This was such a nice post. Sorry for the invitiation to nosedive. :~)

This is a wonderful place you've created, Matt, and without it there wouldn't be so many cool, mushy, aristocatic, chaotic and spastic people to watch grow into the best tribe a person could ask for. And one of the best things is, as long as a person has been accepted into the forum, they are instantly accepted by the forum.

Yeah, were a pretty good bunch of people (no humbleness intended, :Op). But it takes a leader to start a tribe, and even though you've stepped back to watch the tribe grow, you're still the one we look to as our leader, our chief, whether you like it or not. In otherwords, blush all you may, and be as humble as anyone can be, but you're still going to be thanked and held in high esteem, whether you like it/want it or not.

No. Not blonde (and hey aren't red anyway these days?) British.

catsup = ketchup = that red stuff (tomato sauce) that people sometimes put on hamburgers and chips (a.k.a. US french fries).
bologna = a perfectly horrid pressed lunch meat - you are better off not knowing what it is even if you do eat it.

Lol, Elisheva. I agree with Bologna. It's named after a town in which it was made originally, I think.
