I'm always getting surprised by finding out that someone I've followed for a while is not the sex I thought they were.

So malaise, even though I thought you were a guy, you are one of my favorite DUers. Your Original Posts are always interesting but what you are amazing at is drawing out a conversation through the comments on other people's posts. I can't tell you how many times I have recced a post NOT because of the OP but because of the information shared in the conversations running through the comment sections. And I've noticed many times that it is you drawing people out, questioning, making DU a real conversation instead of one-sided postings.

You are a great addition to this site. :0)

I'm mostly a reader here, but a long time reader (since 2004) and I love your posts! Especially the ones that have an "Oh my fuggin gawd" in them or some variation, LOL!

Seriously, you are one of the several commentators/posters here that I routinely look for, read and appreciate their insight and opinion. Thanks! Keep posting!

It takes some starch to make 100K posts at this forum.
But, by Jove, he's done it.
So, what can you say about a man who has made 100K posts, other than, 'good job, ol' boy. Keep up the good work."

If the admins ever get their act together -- and we know who you are -- and we ever get a 'buddy list' here at the new and abused DU3, it would be great to put malaise on that list, as it would make it much easier to see what he has to say about this or that in the coming days and weeks ahead.
