I dont know i was just allowed to log on again one day. Silly really i mean we are all grown adults in here we should be able to speek our mind about most issues if its got something to do with the thread. Dont you think?

That was a great post RÃ*an! I think of Tolkien when I look at the stars too. Here, in this town, there`s some light pollution but I can somehow see Venus really brightly and I always think "Well, of course. I wouldn`t expect anything less from Feanor" but of course maybe he doesn`t deserve too much credit.. Anyway lovely post and I`ll see ya around, when I can. <3

Hey, Katya, you're right! I never made the connection between Earendil, a Silmaril, and Venus! (Damn, that is one large misshapen ship!

).

How could you possibly be banned after 5 posts?

That's some evil I admire! Are you looking for a job? Do you want cool force powers and a funny looking grey hat and some colorful pins? Join the Empire!

Thanks again, guys

I was going to go through all the user names and share some nice memories of the Mooters I've known through the years, then I actually went to the list ... and about fell over. I think it would take me about a year to go through it!

Serenoli · 11-02-2005, 04:03 AM

I just looked in to add my congratulations... I'm still in shock, I never noticed you had 10,000 posts to your name! Simply amazing. And I love your 10kth post, its very lovely.

Rian, why don't you just do what JD had originally planned to do for his big 10k post? Just make a post about your experiences and time that you've been at Entmoot.

Sheesh, I have been too busy! How could I have missed the 10K post? And everyone of them as full of erudition and tenacity as of charm and wit, too! And, I nearly forgot Truth - that absolute and wonderful capital T statement of reality so foreign to today's climate of thought! Alas, my regrets on being 0.201K late. (Now, whose gonna challenge that datum?)

***RÃan*** · 11-03-2005, 02:31 PM

thanks again, guys! You guys make the Moot!

OK, maybe I'll do that, SGH

Someone shut me down if I start rambling on too much, though.

You're a great one, RÃ*an!
