I'm glad you've come to appreciate them I think they'd be hurt if you didn't seeing as they were nice enough to wish you happy birthday last weekend
I've been doing the whole shtick so long they've pretty much become a part of me they're my way of bringing some extra comedy to the thread especially when not much is going on with WVM on the whole. I know it still wierds a lot of people out (especially newcomers lol) but I love the fact that for the most part the more active members of the thread have embraced their presence and treat them almost as if they are members in their own right.
