I know I must too.

I have never seen anything wayward.

I've been on vacation, and am now usurping a user to check out what's happening.... but it's all cool.

[Swamp Rat]

88. Help!

I've been usurped! :D

[The Magistrate]

I can't choose which I appreciate more:

your meticulous and comprehensive research,

your clear and concise writing style,

or your spot-on-target insights.

Let me get back to you on this. But in the meantime, thanks a lot!!

[AuntiBush]

Welcome "hwmnbn!" :hi:
You nailed-it for me. Thank you! Great response.

And thank you H2O MAN! You're postings have me coming back with great interests with your keen insight, hitting so much on the nail. I salute you, sir or madam.


H2O Man's postings are so on the mark, it keeps one guessing who it is!
Hhmmmmm............... :hide:

[tishaLA]

[im10ashus]

[in_cog_ni_to]

16. Indeed! One of my all-time favorite posters!

To H2O man...:toast::yourock::applause::woohoo::loveya:

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

17. I'll have to join in on this one.

He's a great asset to our on line community here and always a pleasure to read.

:toast:

[G_j]

18. me too

:yourock:

[Octafish]

19. H20 Man gives a damn!

When it comes to fighting the BFEE, he wields the most important weapons there are: Knowledge, Wisdom and Truth. Of course he also possesses the most important healing medicines known: Kindness, Forgiveness and Love. I'm proud to be on the same planet with the guy.

[BamaBecky]

38. And we appreciate you too Octafish...you and H20...both!...n/t

[Tuesday_Morning]

63. Count me in...

I'm a huge fan of the conversations between H2OMan and Octafish.

Thanks for all your efforts.

[blm]

98. It takes a lot of effort to keep track of the dirty dealings of the BFEE.

Without the intrepid BFEE trackers, we would all be in the dark to the extent of their connections.

[H2O Man]

99. There is a team that

not only has done a remarkable job of connecting the dots that indicate what they have done in the past, but it seems that we are doing a fair job of predicting what will be happening in the near future.

[blm]

100. I'm proud to be a "team" player...even if my contributions are minor.

You and Octafish have posted great info that needs the rest of us to push it further into the public arena. Gawd knows we can't depend on the press to take that initiative.

[annabanana]

20. Sign me up on this one!!

Thorough analysis and exhaustive research is the lifeblood of DU

[Political_Junkie]

21. One of my all-time favorite posters.

:yourock:

[blondeatlast]

22. One of DU's most thoughtful and intelligent members

and a real patriot.

:patriot:

[wildflower]

23. I must agree. Thanks for posting this.

[ewagner]

24. Let me join

in expressing my appreciation for his thoughtful posts.

Thank you H2O man! :thumbsup:

[SlowDownFast]

25. H2Oman Papers was the first thread I came across

when I first discovered DU.

I studied that thread for a few days and kept checking for new posts everyday - fascinating material!

Whenever I plug into DU now, I scan the threads, and if there's an H2O thread, you know it's the first one I'm clicking...

H2Oman is a DU treasure...

[lostnfound]

26. Ditto here. nt

[H2O Man]

27. Very nice of you all.

Thank you.

[Tsiyu]

90. You're very welcome, Wise One

Thanks for being part of DU.

It wouldn't quite be DU without you:)

[Flubadubya]

28. For he's a jolly good fellow...

for he's a jolly good fellow,
for he's a jolly good fellow... that noboby can deny!

Thanks for all your sagacious input H20 man... love your stuff. :toast:

[Jose Diablo]

29. I think the Waterman papers and those Plame threads

are a very important part of understanding the depths this administration has decended to achieve its new colonial agenda of world domination.

Thanks H20 man for 'setting the enviroment' to allow this understanding be made available in the net.

I tip my hat to you.

:applause:

[Mandate My Ass]

30. My long overdue bow of appreciation for H2OMan

The sign of your genius is that you make it seem easy. It's not though. Thank you for everything you do.

:patriot:

[ClayZ]

32. A "teacher" is the most honorable profession!

Thanks,H20 MAN, for educating me!

[SalmonChantedEvening]

33. Take a bow H2Oman!!

You help keep me informed, and that's half the battle.

:toast:

[Domitan]

34. He's one of the few here that I look for wisdom

Many thanks!

[Bouncy Ball]

45. That's how I feel about him.

I never miss his posts.

[hfojvt]

46. yet apparently he is too stuck up for the lounge

which is the proper place for appreciation threads.

And "one of the few"? The few?

What are the rest of us? Spiced Ham?

"We know the value of water, when the well has run dry."

I do not think DU's well has run dry, but as to H2Oman:

"When I buy water, I sure get my money's worth." Daffy Duck

"I thirst." Jesus

"Give me some water." Eddie Money

[Bouncy Ball]

47. I think 99% of DUers are fantastic.

What happened, what caused this?

I'm confused. :shrug:

[hfojvt]

51. shhhh. Be vewy quiet.

I am talking about the post you responded to (but don't let "them" hear that) that said "he is one of the few" which along with praise to H2O seemed to cast aspersions on the rest of us, yourself included. If you hadn't already responded, I might have said "one of the few, what about Bouncy Ball, Udokier, etc." Since you were already here, I thought I would try to glom onto your well-deserved status and say, to you, "hmmf, what about us?
Also I was hoping that the gratuitous reference to spiced ham and Daffy Duck would be funny. But I have failed you, empress. :cry: (n.b. - gratuitous reference to "The Neverending Story") (also gratuitous use of the esoteric abbreviation "n.b." and use of the esoteric words "gratuitous" and "esoteric")
Let me get at least a chuckle or a grin here, I am drowning in flop sweat here.:freak:

[Bouncy Ball]

52. LOL

The last line made me laugh pretty hard. Drowning in flop sweat, great visual.

Ok, I didn't really know what happened, if there was some background or something I didn't catch.

Thanks!

[NewJeffCT]

35. Here here!

Bravo for waterman. He is one of the few posters I actually search on by name, and the only one I search for on a regular basis. His intelligence, insight & historical perspective are always refreshing to read in these often depressing times.

[frictionlessO]

36. An educator of the and for the masses. Thank you H2O!

You are a rare find indeed.

[Pithy Cherub]

37. H2O Man, Truly a Scholar and a Classy Gentleman!

[Donailin]

39. When H20Man posts, I listen

One of the most insightful writers I've come across. Totally fresh. Long Live the Waterman!

[RagAss]

43. Much luv to you Waterman!

No doubt about it. You're the best. You're my favorite! Can I have your autograph??!!??

[Bouncy Ball]

44. I have come to have a very deep and abiding

sense of respect and admiration for him. He's one of DUs finest, to be sure.

Also, I've never seen him lose his cool. That's quite a feat around here some days.

BIG props to ya, H2O Man. YOU ROCK.

:hug:

[blue neen]

49. Let me express my appreciation for your efforts, H2O man.

I always read your posts. They are informative, reasoned, and insightful. Sometimes you post in the midst of chaos here and your serenity at those times amazes me.

[Frederik]

50. May I join the appreciation

H2O Man :yourock:

[Jackpine Radical]

53. H2O Man is one of the greatest.

Patrick, if you're reading this, thanks for being here, thanks for doing everything you do, and remember: You gotta string all those incredible posts together into a book one of these days.

[hwmnbn]

[Burried News]

56. Rust the machine, add more water.

We are not satisfied consumers, we are friends.

http://www.pink-floyd-lyrics.com/html/outside-the-wall-wall-lyrics.html
"All alone, or in two's,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.

And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall."

[Daphne08]

57. Waterman is one of my heroes here.

:)

[understandinglife]

58. Thank you "H2O man" for all your efforts.

Peace.

www.missionnotaccomplished.us - How ever long it takes, the day must come when tens of millions of caring individuals peacefully but persistently defy the dictator, deny the corporatists their cash flow, and halt the evil being done in Iraq and in all the other places the Bu$h neoconster regime is destroying civilization and the environment in the name of "America."

[Zhade]

59. Indeed, his is a fine mind...

...and a great gentle sense of humor to boot!

H20-kun, :yourock:

[Catherine Vincent]

67. Thank you, Mr. Waterman.

:-)

[H2O Man]

68. I'm going to either

grab my older son's acoustic guitar and some of his beer (looks mighty good today!) and sing you all a old Irish song of thanks, or I'll sit down and compose another of my long-winded, disconnected rants. Or, I may do both. No matter what happens, though, I again want to say thank you.

[kohodog]

69. I vote for both!

Not sure you've ever sung a beer induced rant here!

But your posts are greatly appreciated.

We are blessed to have you sir.

[me b zola]

76. A toast to you, H2O man

Your work & contributions to this board have meant a great deal to me. My simple "thank you" seems so small a thing for all that that you have done for DU, so I thought I'd offer a couple of Guinness stouts.


Thank you, H2O Man, and cheers!!! :toast:

[immoderate]

80. Sometimes H2O Man will swoop down on one of my posts.

And he'll comment with something that make me laugh out loud. And I come back with something, and he justs tops that.

When H2O Man is feeling frisky, there's no funnier.

--IMM

[burythehatchet]

81. very happy to express my appreciation H2O Man

You are among the sources of a wealth of historical and contextual knowledge. You, Octafish, Minstrel Boy, and many more for me to be able to remember after a few Heinies.

[DanCa]

82. Thank you H2O man.

And your an Ali fan, another prop for you bud.

[H2O Man]

84. A DU treasure-I like that!

Yes, once again, thank you H2O - You intrigued me starting with your Plamegate posts last year and I've avidly watched the developments since then-took you advice when you offer it- and totally appreciate the research and reading that you do for all of here at DU. Always a good day when I find one of your posts.
Here's to you, you DU treasure, you!!

87. H20 Man for President!

Hell, he doesn't need to know the difference between a Copperhead and a milksnake for that! :P

BUT DAMN! The man knows so much about recent American history. If he writes a book, I'll read it and call it While I Was Sleeping. I have a lot of learning to do.

[H2O Man]

89. There are no snakes

in Ireland, hence my confusion. However, from the Judith Miller snake to the Dich Cheney snake, I do quite well in identification. (grin)

Looking froward to many more insightful posts from the Water Man.

So is your head swollen to twice it's size?
