I love it, Megan, when you know how to choose the right words for the right compliment, in perfect harmony with practical lack of verboseness. Also, I like the way your pseudonym metonymises the Renault Megane, as a sort of unintentional propaganda in favour of an underrated French brand.

I am awed by your supreme self-effacement. Ignore those who churlishly say that it is a symptom of arrogance to use your own prose as the standard of judgment, because the fact that you couldn't have said it better yourself suggests that you are the record-holder to be beaten. No, I say! It is purest modesty, and you have it, in all its purity.

KQ, I admire how you phrased your grasp of the concept of true modesty--succint, and yet profound.

I'm impressed with your creative respelling of the word "perfectly." I'd consider adopting it for full-time use, but I wouldn't want to mar the unique presentation of the spelling as it appears in thisi thread.

I think that it's great that you brought humor into the thread by good-naturedly mocking cel for bad spelling, and then proceeding to talk about "thisi thread" so that he will know that it's all in fun.

Megan, I love the way your tongue-in-cheek post playfully shows thisi newbie what spelling nazis we are here, and also how you kindly "forgot" to correct your own typo, allowing chel to laugh behind his or her hand.
edit: Great minds, etc. I should reload more often.

Morbo, I always love to see when one can admit their mistakes, as you did in your previous post. Also, I would like to compliment you on your great mind, as you provided me with much needed advice several days ago.

Kaioshin00: That was a very beautifully worded compliment.
Morbo and Anticool: I am a girl for future reference.
Edit: By the way: Thanks for your subtle defence of the newbie(I really am a bad spaeller so forgiv me in the futrue) and Megan, thank you for making your own spelling error and making me feel better.

Mr. Morbo: You gave me advice in the "elf thread." Ferrous wheels and such, if that rings any bells.
Anticool, knowing that I made someone else sincerely laugh is a feeling I always enjoy. I hope its safe to assume that Chel feels the same away about your post.

Foundling, you made a really good critique of this thread. You rightly pointed out a lack of sincerity in the nice things being said. We all should work on that more.

How friendly of you to make the newbie feel welcome. It can be awkward coming into a new community, and it's nice to let the newbies know they're appreciated. Posts: 1814 | Registered: Jul 2004

I want to congratulate you all for having constructed the nicest thread ever to exist anywhere on the net. I say that, not in a boastful way, but out of gratitude, for I did not know such a thread as this could exist.

That was such a nice thing to say, I wish I had thought to praise this whole thread before. You have a way of making people feel like they've really accomplished something.

You have a way that make people believe they have actually deserved your praise (not ironic at all). I wish I could do that.

I can't tell if that's sincere praise or sarcasm, so Jonathon.
Is it just me or is it easier to think up fake reasons to be offended than real reasons to praise? I have got to cut back on the talk radio...

Its wonderful that you listen to talk radio. Only a truly intelligent person would understand why the time must be taken to listen to mindless talk show hosts babble on and on about nothing in particular.

Morbo, I appreciate your recogition of the difficulties of complimenting someone for a simple post and the distress you feel that it is, in fact, easier to insult someone. This, to me, says you're a really nice guy at heart.
Steve, I admire your speed of posting, despite the current difficulties it's causing me!

Morbo, I adore the way you respond to multiple people at once, almost as if we were all sitting in a real living room, me perched demurely on the ottoman, instead of being stuck at work and understimulated.

Ketchupmilady, another post in which I can't tell if it's real or ironic... a writer once said irony is a disease, once you catch it you can;t shake it. I should chill with some Amish or something.
Susie, very cool, thank you. But the Algonquin Roundtable this ain't.
edit: I was going to say that I like that you started your post "Morbo, I adore the way you...: and other newbies would start off well that way...until I realized who you were, oh, Susie-Q. But hey, oldtimers can start posts that way too.

I'm glad you thought I would sit on the ottoman as a deferment to the comfort of others. It was mostly just to display my figure to best advantage.

Thanks for thinking it was sneaky. I thought it was rather obvious; but then, I read my own profile.

About that hug - I felt it last night, that's how good you are at hugging a whole community!
And when you said that about hugging Hatrack, I flashed on a memory of Fred Astaire hugging a hatrack as he danced with it, and it made ME want to dance - that's how evocative your poetic writing was for me.
