Thank you all so very much for this honor!
Just a quick speech. I have been a forumite for 464 days. I originally joined to, well, be a fan! My first post was in Duke of Wellington's Golden Horde-Scourge from the East AAR. When I checked it the next day, he had responded and even welcomed me to the forum! Ever since then, I've been hooked. I can't help but comment, and I love it. The great talent on this forum is breathtaking. To be recognized as a cheerleader of such great work is a high honor in itself. I want to thank Lord E for nominating me, Duke of Wellington for inspiring me to write my first AAR, and to everyone whose AAR I have ever commented in. If it weren't for your wonderful work, I could have never been given this honor.
@ emperor_krk- That's fine, get to reading it whenever you have the time!
@ robw963- Sir, your AAR was definitively in my mind when I wrote that speech. It is too wonderful for adequate words. If having me as a reader is an honor, than suffice it to say the same for yourself.
@ everyone else- Thank you so much for your congratulations! They mean a lot to me!
