Oh my God, you-all! I...oh, heck, you-all are friends, so I'm going WAY out on a limb, and just copy my response to my Zildean friend, Capital Kiwi, who rec'd. the newsletter before I did and "kindly" sent me the notice. I think this pretty well sums up my feelings, which haven't changed an iota.
DAVID!!! You...you...don't mean it!!!!! Oh my GOD!!
He did THAT? ANU did THAT?!?!!!!!! Oh my God!!!
Oh, it must be in one I haven't gotten yet. Oh my God,
I am going to DIE! OH!!!!!! OH!!!!!! I don't know
whether to be more...more...HONORED--oh my GOD
ANU put that in there about ME??????????????--or
EMBARRASSED!!!! Oh David! OH DAVID!!! Oh, I am dying!!!!
oh, WHAT am I going to DO??? My face is on fire, and I
haven't even SEEN the newsletter! OH, I can't believe he
even THOUGHT about me--let alone did something like that!
Oh my God...Oh, my face cannot be still--I don't know whether
to laugh with delight, or cry tears of embarrassment. Oh my God,
I can't believe this!
And, oh , yes, um...thanks (she said with totla distraatcion_

Now, now, Lassie, calm yourself down. It was just your due. And Anu, being the gentleman he is, was simply doing what any gentleman would do ... praising publically one who adds so much to our days here.

Such well deserved praise couldn't happen to a nicer person-- You do so much Jackie-- to help set the tone-- so this board has fun-- and forays into the gutter-- but it always maintains a civilized air-- and you're always the first to welcome newbies-- (and make us really feel welcome!)

However, be it noted that true to form Jackie gets propositioned from India whilst I just got begging letters! [justice]

Well, mav exaggerated a little bit, perhaps. I got an
e-mail from a person who said he is a 30-year-old bachelor,
asking me to tell him about myself so that we can "weave the fabric of friendship".
I think I scared him off when I told that I am in fact,
old and fat, to say nothing of married.

As usual, I get the word very late, since I have to come to the office to use my computer and we had a holiday. What a great way to start the week after a holiday! No one but you, my dear, could merit being a Pooh-Bah and also a Linguaphile of the Month -- a combination of honor I do not expect to see surpassed any time soon, if ever. Congratulations and much love.

Although late, as usual, there is my double congratulation to Jackie for her election as linguaphile of the month and her graduation to Pooh-Bah.
If there weren’t persons like Jackie how come an English student as me would dare to participate in this forum?.
Spare a thought for the plebe in your meetings of the Pooh-Bahs guild.

Woweeee! After a five day break from work, I am terribly late withthis one, and y'all have all said it all, if you know what I mean. But it would be grossly impolite for Time Honoured Lancaster not to add its encomium to the towering struture of praise above. So:- - - Dearest Jackie, my heartfelt congratulations on your richly deserved mention by He Who Rules the Word. He has summed up, in an admirably succinct fashion, what we all feel about you. May you continue to welcome newbies and to be the arbiter of civilized good taste - from the roof-top to the gutter - for many centuries to come.

and to make public what I have already communicated in private. In amongst what must be one of the most civilised and welcoming boards on the net, Jackie still sets an example to us all in her demeanour, tolerance, and gentle ribbing. May it long continue. And congratulations on the formal acknowledgement.

I thank you, but...to me, this is nothing worthy of all this praise. This is just normal, common courtesy. Period.

The Great Anu keeps you in his heart ... where better for the guiding light of this board?
Should you ever want to wander ... well, you already have a place in mine. I'm keeping a candle in the window.
