Round of applause for Ed, I reckon

[delboy]

Just wanted to say a public thank you to Ed. Not just because of the fact that he's funding huge elements of the prizes for the CD Comp (not just this year - but every year) out of his own pocket, but for keeping this place going, for his encouragement of us all, for enabling all the connections and networking and knowledge sharing that goes on here. For taking the time out to provide hugely informative critiques even though he's already working 25 hours a day. For keeping us all in order and for keeping this place rockin' and rollin'! I'm sure he does whole lot more than this, too. I probably know only 1% of it. I reckon he's the undisputed middle-weight ( ) champion of on-line horror.

So three cheers for Ed!

[JonP]

[Caz]

Spot on.

I have gained so much from this place. So it's a big thanks from me.

[Rev. Austin]

I'll raise a toast to him!



I, too, have learnt a heck of a lot from this forum, so thanks for keeping it going and all your hard work, Ed!  Wheee!  

edit: Here're all the grateful forum members applauding Ed, yesterday:

[Bec]

[Grillmeat]

[jingold]

Ditto!  Thanks very much Ed! 

[shiney]

I'll chime in here and agree.  This seems like a pretty cool board...I don't hang out as much as I'd like, ST keeps us pretty busy (And Ken is mean and locks us in a secret room behind his bookcase....and it's a crappy pressboad bookcase full of Koontz and Saul novels) But I do pop in once a day...cool vibe, cool peeps. Keep it going!!

[Pharosian]

Yes!    HUGE thanks to Ed for providing such a great place for writers to gather and learn from one another!   

[delboy]

Derek

Argh you've uncovered that I am not only actually a middle-aged woman, but am also a puppet!  Oh well, if the truth had to come out out at least it's on this forum   

[starktheground]

Del put it more eloquently than I ever could!  to Ed and Cafe Doom!

[fnord33]

A toast!

[notsoscarey]

I'll add in a "Bravo!"  and "Muchas gracias!"

[Rev. Austin]

This news just in: forum administrator found with bonce jammed in doorway.  Emergency crews claimed "His head was so big after receiving so many nice compliments and mentions of gratitude that we had to mildly insult him to make it shrink back to a more manageable size.  Then he popped right out."
