To Tom, the FoT's, APMike, all associated entities (even possible demons):
I just want to say thanks. The month of September has been pretty much the worst in my life as far as I can tell, with my marriage suddenly vaporizing under my feet and me being left feeling completely adrift and in very dire need of cheering up by whatever means necessary. The Best Show has become a Tuesday night ritual now, something I can't afford to miss, and the last few weeks I've even had a friend come over who'd never heard the show just to keep me company and laugh along with me. In between having to deal with all the associated bullshit that comes with this sort of thing, I haven't had much time or inclination to post on the board, but I have been lurking just to read what you guys have been posting when I needed cheering up.
You're all sort of heroes to me, if only because you're helping to lift the spirits of someone in dire need of it.
There's good things on here, where for the most part people aren't flaming each other, wasting time calling each other names or putting each other down, and are here just to celebrate something great and generally have fun.
So from someone who's feeling pretty low right now (but using all the tools available to realize that I'm in the worst of it, and I will get through it, I just wanted to tell you all thanks.
This is pretty sappy, isn't it? Apologies if this is too serious, but I felt like it needed to be said. Sometimes a community of strangers is doing good work without even realizing it.
