A toast to my friends. You know who you are, and you know why.

A toast to my mentors. You know who you are, for I have thanked you before. Maybe you don't know how far your help spreads out through my world.

A toast to anyone I have helped in any way. You know who you are, for I have told you often that it was YOU who were so smart.

A toast to anyone I have harmed in any way. You know who you are, for I have often not apologized or made it right. I will try harder to listen.

A toast to my enemies. You know who you are, for you know your own heart. I have had to learn much from our time together, and I would hope the same is true for you.

A toast to new Mudcatters. You know who you are. You are a constant stream of delightful peers.

A toast to lurking Mudcatters. You know who you are! But we don't!

A toast to Mudcat visitors. You know who you are. God help you land in a decent thread your first time here!

A toast to the people who have come asking support and gotten it. You know who you are.

A toast to the people who have supported one another. You probably DON'T know who you are, but the rest of us do.

A TOAST TO MAX and all the merry elves. You know who you are. A look at the site on any given day shows why.

In sum, a toast TO ALL PEOPLE who KNOW WHO THEY ARE... and who let us see them that way most of the time!
