Oh..... my ... !
Thank you very much. I'm a bit overwhelmed.
I want to say that I am very impressed with the way we've bounced back the last few weeks from our doldrums after the election. As a group we've got it back together and this thread, and all of the people who participate, are priceless sources of insight and raw information. I'm extremely proud to be among those mentioned, let alone to be listed first.
I also want to say that, having done my turn in the saddle in the last few weeks myself, I understand and appreciate that there is a
downside to this increase in great posts. It makes it really hard for the Jedi Council member doing the review to pick and choose since
all of the posts are getting so good! (OK, there was this
ONE really bad.... no, I won't go there... <g>)
I want to thank Fishtalk, not only for recognizing my posts this week in this way, but also for the work that went into going through all of the great posts to get to this point. It's getting harder to pick out the "good ones" and it's truly becoming a necessity to read the whole thread to catch all of the gems. These awards pick out a few highlights, point people to good posts they might have missed, but there's much more here, folks. Much more.
Well done to all.
And again, thank you.

By the way, the name Phsstpok is a misspelling of a character from a Larry Niven novel. A Pak Protector.
I'll leave it to others to figure out my purpose in choosing this nom de plume.
Way to go # 1 not surprised in the least.
It's amazing how boring and politically stupid the world can get without a daily dose of FR.
