No worries, Jen. See Answer. - LateToDinner, Aug 10, 2010
nametaken, I took the liberty of rolling back to you previous post. I wasn't sure if you were going to see Late's comments for awhile. I apologize if I stepped on your toes. :) - chaparrito, Aug 10, 2010
Thanks Chaparrito :). - --Jen--, Aug 11, 2010

Dear Jen:When the "Thanks, but No Thanks" list was made, all I could think of was how embarrassing it would be!

But I seem to be able to have done that without any help. Since then I have had my ears boxed by Gekko on numerous occasions and inadvertantly stepped on the toes of both Heidi and Eddy - unintentionally, I swear! And I guess Luisa is never going to forgive me. So I am over it.

I also wasn't too happy with my Rep points. More came from being cutesy or clever than a reflection of my Spanish ability. But boy, do I now have a killer vocabulary! And since nobody else seems to be turning those points down, I will get over that, too.

So, What an Opportunity to Say Thank You for Letting Me Play!

If someone opens a thread, "Who does Late want to thank?", I can guarantee them hundreds of answers. But I hope no one does, I would be in constant fear that I was missing someone. We've lost some valuable contributors in the short time I've been here and they also deserve my thanks.

Collectively then, My sincere Thanks to All that make and have made Spanish Dict. what it is.

Not just shouting, (I know what thread you just came from) but also Stepping out of the Box. Totally impressed. - LateToDinner, Aug 11, 2010
Sorry my sunset ended up on your horizon. I had to tone down your exhuberance to be able to thank Jason. But I put it back. - LateToDinner, Aug 11, 2010
Sorry about that, I don't understand why I can't get it to move down. - Yeser007, Aug 11, 2010
I pushed it down a bit - looks good on my Mac browsers, let me know if it gives any trouble on the PC's... - Gekkosan, Aug 11, 2010
Like a charm, Gekko, like a charm. Much cleaner. But I have to admit I was impressed how it stood out of the box. - LateToDinner, Aug 11, 2010
Ah, with a bit of CSS code the whole thing could float anywhere in the page! Somehow I don't think the SD Staff would be very happy if that sort of thing starts happening, though - cool as it may look!! - Gekkosan, Aug 11, 2010
Gekko, you da man!!! - Yeser007, Aug 11, 2010

I thought I was going to be too late to wish you congratulations. I am so glad I did not miss it. Great Job!! Have a wonderful celebration!!! Since you are "late to dinner" anyway, why not just have your dessert first? alt text
