I apologize in advance for the off topic and unusual thread, I was going to just send him a pm, but decided to post it publicly.
I'm 54 years old, and while I don't expect to kick the bucket tomorrow, I sense my mortality more every day. One of the ways this affects me, is that I now try to make a point of letting "good people" know that I think they are "good people". For me, that's the ultimate compliment and hopefully acknowledging it when you see it gives the "good people" some sort of validation of their convictions, and maybe a smile. ( damn, I sound like some bleeding heart liberal )
I've only been here a few weeks, and with only a couple of exceptions, I like and enjoy everyone who posts here, but one really stands out to me.
grumpy_old_man, you're "good people". You are obviously a man of kindness, character, intelligence, integrity and humor. Thank you for your presence here. You are a large part of what makes this forum informative and enjoyable. I'd love to shake your hand and drink a beer with you some day.
