Did we ever find out why?
Motion to update Shadowspapa's name to ShadowsBigDaddy: All in favor?Jesus..........talk about boosting a guys ego. His head is going to be so big. That he won't by able to walk through a door way.
This, I always think of Wilson when I read his post too!!!! Congrats @ShadowsPapaThis is the voice I hear when I read ShadowsPapas post. Thank you for your vast knowledge.
If you don't believe it, just ask him.
I raise my cup, for it runs over...My friends,
I’ve been on this forum for a little more than two years, and in that time I cannot begin to count the instances in which I gained deeper insight, or just had to sit back and laugh as I unraveled the wit, of any of the now 19,934 posts (as of 8:32 am EST Dec. 11, 2022) from the legendary @ShadowsPapa.
His experience and generosity, to me, are the backbone of this place. His steady reasoning and unflinching rejection of rumor or rage have kept many passionate conversations planted firmly on the rails. And there's a sly sense of humor in there that is its own art form.
And in a day or two, depending upon how much coffee they have in Iowa this time of year, his message count will roll past 20,000.
I don't know @ShadowsPapa outside of this space, and it took me almost 300 posts before I was lucky enough to engage with him directly, but as I saw the 20K mark rolling up I realized I wanted to thank him for the many times he's helped me work through a tangle, and for his commitment to the Gladiator community.
So this morning I raise my coffee mug to our own brilliant neighbor, our Jeep loving, Sheldon Cooper-esque rock, Mr. @ShadowsPapa!
