Open letter of thanks to Malcolm

S'what I was going to say.
However, I couldn't be arsed to waste my breath, cos those kinda posts always get ignored anyways...

yay malcolm, im gonna second, third, fourth...whatever we're up to now!!! you rock man!

Hooking up with people from HoP? That sounds sketchy.

not when its for spinny goodness

for Malcolm

WOW! This thread takes me way back. The post from Finn on page one of this thread was written a few days after we all first met. We then shared an amazing journey, formed a professional fire troupe, had some wickedly fun times and helped each other through the less fun times. Also set me up with the psy community here in Sydney; something I've called home for years now.

Yay for Malcolm. The man changed my life.

FF, honey, the button is broken from overuse.

Least they cared enough to make a whole button for me

Yeah!!! Big up to Malcolm. Some of the people i have met from HOP have since become some of my favorite (and least favourite lol) people in the world!! The toys and tips are ace,and the people involved are all very helpful and friendly...

Three Cheers!!!

Well, I figured I'd just go ahead and bump this.

Malcolm, Cherry, Jesse, 7 of 9, and Conan:

Thank you for:
Picking me up at the airport; it's always nice to have someone meet you in a strange place.
Your hospitality, home-cooked meals, and a warm bed.
Treating me like part of the family.
Putting up with my insane demand that I must swim an hour each day.
Showing me around Christchurch.
Showing me the real HoP.

But most of all, Malcolm, thank you for creating this amazing community in which we play. Thank you for providing this grey cyber-world in which I have met so many amazing and colorful people who have enriched my life, challenged me to change my ways, and shared in my triumphs and setbacks.

Thanks to what you've created here, I have traveled all the way to Australia and New Zealand, places I've only visited once before at age 16, and found that this place is FULL of good friends. Even if they all talk funny.

There are even children who owe their lives to you, Malcolm. How many HoPers have met on this site and had kids? In your quiet, unassuming way, you have accomplished something truly extraordinary here. You yourself may not appreciate it, but we sure do.

Finally, I want you to know how impressed I was by Jesse. He is the smartest, most articulate, funniest kid his age I've ever met. And in my line of work, I've met a LOT of kids! I am certain that he will grow into an intelligent, articulate, funny, confident, and probably very handsome man. I'll look forward to following him as he grows.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Please and come visit me in California.

that's a hell of an endorsement. Now all those Obama voters know who they should have been voting for!

Really, really useful site, always has been. At the risk of sounding repetitive, hey, well done Malcolm, and thanks for all the work you put into it

Wow.
