This is my 2,000th post on ZD. I have shared 2,000 opinions/questions/thoughts/discussions/debates with you guys and I've enjoyed (almost) every minute of it. I have learned a lot in my time here and have made a lot of wonderful friends.
It's funny because about an hour ago I was looking at my post history on ZD from the old days and it's really astounding how much I've changed and grown. In the span of 3 years I went from a hilariously amateurish debater with some really goofy ideas and a childish presentation to a slightly less hilarious amateurish debater with even more goofy ideas, but hopefully ones that are better thought out and argued and with quite a bit better presentation.
Anyway, I guess I'm primarily known on this forum for my controversial opinions and willingness to debate, and doing so on this forum has taught me a lot and in its own way made me a better person. I appreciate my dissenters for always keeping me on my toes and challenging me to back up what I'm saying.
I'm mostly glad for the friends. You tolerate me in all my weirdness and still respect me. You know who you are, and I thank you.
