I think this thread was simply Ed's way of trying to restore some order to his mind after he finished reading through the anti-swine flu vaccine thread.

Then again, maybe this list is a secret code for the revelation of the ultimate government plot?

And he's warning you that if your name is on any of these threads you are doomed?

Pretty funny - thanks for posting;

I mean no disrespect to you and dr
And others, ed, jes diffeent feet fillin
Different shoes, is all.

No doubt I willalways b e a cranky crybaby
And the silly mistake an outcast makes is
Thinking the mainstream should or could
Accept them.

Some of us came here with a file to download:
Being part of the gene-pool isn't the point.

Thanks again.

hey Ray-J, at the start of my career as a physicist I was fortunate to meet an unbelievable number of the then still alive "physics gods" from history. They had made the wonderful, innovative, profound leaps in our understanding of the world.

I learned, however, that they were all different people, some warm and generous, others nasty SOBs who seemed to enjoy making other people fail, and everything in between. The lesson was that just because you are capable of great intellectual feats doesn't mean you're going to be a "good person."

You have made contributions to climbing and this community, creative and innovative and climbers know you for that... and appreciate it, I believe. Ya, you'll always be a bit crusty and cranky... but you have also given, in a very deep way, to the community.

Makes you feel kind of embarrassed not to have your own appreciation thread, what with Crimpergirl having one for most of her body parts as well as the whole package. (Come to think of it, this one doesn't bother me so much). Ed not having an appreciation thread?...well, obviously, that's probably why he started this thread in the first place. I've always put my efforts into comedy. I can see that I'm gonna have to bone up on my textbooks from that comedy curriculum I took from Phantom X. It's my only chance of breaking through to the Supertopo appreciation club. Unless I'm totally wrong about all of this, and I usually am.

I appreciate that, neebee.
