Congratulations,
@Specialist290! #9 puts you in sole possession of 5th place on the all-time list. On a personal note, thank you for commenting and being an integral part of my AAR. You will find May flower cookies traveling the virtual highway! Congratulations and thank you!
As a connoisseur and peddler of virtual cookies myself, the gesture is much appreciated
Congrats
@Specialist290 , richly deserved
Dear
@Specialist290 congratulations!
Congratulations
@Specialist290
Thank you all!
Congratulations to
@Specialist290, of whom I can state that not only is he a marvellous commentator, but someone whose acquaitance I am very glad to have made through these many AARs over the last years.
Congratulations also to the many winners whom I inevitably and regrettably missed.
You flatter me, good sir. No, no, I didn't say you should
stop...
But seriously, it means a great deal to me to hear that, as I feel much the same way myself. I've enjoyed our conversations, commentary, and occasional banter immensely over the years, and I hope I can continue to do so for many more.
Many congrats,
@Specialist290 ! A mighty cool fan. I still treasure my red special cookie.
Thank you kindly! I try to choose the recipients of my
Red Special Cookies ● carefully, and your latest output certainly has only confirmed my faith in my initial award.
Very well done
@Specialist290! One away from double figures!
Hard to believe, isn't it? It feels like only yesterday I was a new user myself...
Again, thank you all!

Well, it's about that time again -- technically, actually, I'm probably a little late if I'm honest.
Time and energy have kept me from putting together my usual recommendation list, but honestly, I could point to the signatures and Inkwells of the many fine authAARs who have already commented in this thread. I can't promise that I've read every single work or even every single authAAR, but the vast and overwhelming majority of those that I have have always left me coming away with something worthwhile, and even for those that I haven't... well, you never learn if you don't occasionally try something new, do you?
I do have to confess that, like many recipients in the recent (and sometimes not-so-recent) past, I feel like I'm getting this award right at the time that I feel like I'm entering a bit of a slump in my activity here. Still, I always count it a particular honor whenever I'm lucky enough to be the next recipient -- after all, my own philosophy is that it's quality, not quantity, that really counts.
As always, I try to make a point to find "new blood" to pass this award on to whenever it comes into my hands. Usually that means finding some eager up-and-comer, but today it's going to someone who already has a bit of a presence here in AARland -- enough of one, in fact, that I'm rather surprised they
haven't gotten this award before.
Therefore, it is my honor and privilege to be the first to name
@eoncommander as our new Fan of the Week! Come on down and claim your prize!
