THANK YOU PerfectWagnerite!!!

[Bonehelm]

All I need is an address.

We'll talk about that later.

Well I'm not a big, old , cuddly teddy bear, but I'm quite a generous person, if I say so myself. When I bestow gifts on anyone I don't expect "thank yous" and gifts in return. In fact if I were "Perfect Wagnerite", I would have sent Bonehelm that gift with instructions to KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT. It's nobody elses business who he gifts and what the reasons for that gift are. If Bonehelm had PWs address (as he must have since he received mail from him), he could have sent him a thank you card, or somehow found his telephone number (if he didn't already have that as well) and made his thanks meaningfully personal. But airing it on the internet (in my view) cheapens the gift.
However, I wish to maintain my "rotten" persona on this forum. Because if I don't, it will become so sickeningly sweet and politically correct, that anybody
with a "blood sugar" problem will immediately go into a hyperglycemic attack .

Yes, a cuddly teddy Bear, Sarge, it is confirmed!

However the scent of honey incenses him.

Thank you Larry.  I feel so loved.

Watch your back!!

[Mark]

Watch your back!!

And look! Iago using a smiley.

I'm so happy for him.

[Iago]

And look! Iago using a smiley.

I'm so happy for him.

That;s the "evil" icon, NOT a smiley.

[Steve]

That;s the "evil" icon, NOT a smiley.

But, it's still an emoticon.

[karlhenning]

But, it's still an emoticon.

And, there are times when the person using it makes such an emoticon une  chose très amusante, indeed

. . . I'm quite a generous person, if I say so myself.

Your rodent feces are in the mail.

The generosity of many people on this forum is simply astonishing. It's a great place, full of great people (well, except for our resident curmudgeon, the ornery critter; but he's probably a big, old cuddly teddy bear too in real life )

Magical things can happen between people on this forum. One of the best things I can write in regard to this forum is that I achieved easily my original intentions upon signing up:

1) I met excellent, admirable people. The good outweigh the bad many times over.
2) I not only learned one hell of alot about Our Music, but the people here were so great I wanted to keep learning.

[karlhenning]

Ah, musica nostra!

[Haffner]

Ah, musica nostra!

I'll raise you that with another "Ah" and two "ooOOOOohhhh"s!

[springrite]

Now, this act, I hope, puts an end to some people's knee-jerk prejudices against people whose name shows association with or love for Wagner's music.


This kind of kindness at the forum does not surprise me for I have received several gifts shipped via international mail, and I have send a couple myself as well. Sharing the love of music is a joy.
