Rudi, I think this is one of the best posts on Flyertalk in months... and I don't care about certain people who don't get our backslapping and our love fest for each other.
It made me remember two threads... one that still has me rolling in laughter..

and one that has me bawling like baby:

See, I never was the popular one in school ro at work (taht's still the case.) a Lot of people don't "GET ME!" I feel alone.
So seeing that birthday greeting from baobab, NJDavid, Nick Merry, etc and PremEx (my BIG BRUDDAR) and my TEXAS buddy... JAWS.
I realized I finally found a place that I belonged. And the following year... making many new friends like Punki and Joe and QUiet Lion and hunnybear and finding one of the greatest peopel in my life, Wanderlust... and oh so many more over the months and months that followed.
I'm a very lucky cat!
