Awww, I'm so humbled. Reading these heartfelt outpourings of love, support and admiration -- all wrapped in sarcasm -- brings tears to my eyes. I feel like Sally Field on Oscar Night -- "I can't deny the fact that you hate me! You hate me!"

There is, however, some terrible misinformation being circulated about my job as Dictator of the banning thread, so hopefully this will clear it up.

* I've made 5,488 posts there, a mere 28.9 percent of my total. (The remaining 13,512 have been in the caring, insightful and inspiring variety. )

* 5,488 members of the riff-raff community -- the lowest of the low -- have been reprimanded for misbehavior, making YT a much happier place. If I didn't round them up on the banning thread, they would infest the rest of the forums like locusts.
