Funny how time fliesI meant to add my own thoughts to this thread when it was first started but things got away from me. Thanks Manish for bringing it to the top again. Im adding to this now because after reading a few posts and getting exasperated at some of the things said in them I had to focus on the all of the reasons I continue coming to the BB and the folks that really make it worthwhile. So here goes...

First and foremost, as the unofficial President of the Society of M clones, Id be remiss not to start out with Manish. Would any of us be here if it was not for him? More than that, his insight and sense of humor help distinguish CW from any number of websites and more personally, I am glad that he is my friend.

Much appreciation goes to folks like Quent, David (SuperDav), and Lee (LA PRIMA DIVAS FAN) who not only bring their intellect into discussions on the BB or conversations in the chat but are just really nice, funny people Im glad to have gotten to know much better over my time on the BB.

Though mg, Black Atlantic, and Monte do not post as often anymore, theyve taken part in many of my favorite threads and been responsible for helping to make CW stand out due to some of the best discussions on Whitney Houston as well as on race and pop culture Ive read and participated in online. It was because of their posts (along with several others) that I started posting on CW myselfmuch thanks to them for enticing me into the fold.

Mikey, Mikey, Mikey, your generosity of spirit and warm personality adds something to CW that really cannot be measured or replaced. Thanks for making me smile and calming me down when people have worked my last nerves (dont know when that ever happens right?).

Jojo25-you really do inspire me with your strength and kindness of spirit. Keep on doing what you do here and in the real world.

Papayoke-after reading some of your comments I cant help but say he's not right and then have to smile or laugh. But your jokes dont hide at all that you have a lot to say of substance. Dont change at all (well maybe a littlejust jokes). The chat room or the BB wouldnt be the same without you.

Kaciana, even though youve been on the BB less as of late it is always good to read your positive perspective on Whitney on the BB and enjoy your sense of humor and personality more in the chat.

Thanks to Steve (Stavrone) for all you do and bring to CW. Really you go above and beyond man

DannieC and MLIYL bring so much positive energy to the BB. And folks like TonyL, IWDWSWLM (Peter), ssips(Ben), Tarabas, Rui, Rhoemi, and others make my time in the chat room quite enjoyable. Good to see you all in there and be able to get to know more of Whitneys national and international fanbase on a more personal level than one can on the BB. Glad to have gotten to chat more as of late with Tenthsun and its also always good to see MaxUK, mnealio, sabine, SDWhite, stefwhit, Olugbenga, and others add their points of view to the CW mix.

Ive enjoyed allstar2003s and Jake Plums music commentary since we seem to share similar tastes and though chart info is not my thing, I know that the Whitney information thebigham, amit1234, and JRKing bring here is appreciated.

Missed persons report out on AussieWhitFan, lopez, Peaceseeker420 (or joem), and Franz. Always enjoyed reading your posts and touching base in the chat. We dont see you nearly enough anymoreSpeaking of which, wheres Sky?

I apologize in advance for the folks I left out who have positively influenced my CW experience. Im sure once I press add reply Ill remember more people I should have shouted out to. Even if I did not name folks personally or in-depth, I appreciate for the most part what everyone brings to the BB that helps makes it what it is--a place I really value coming to.

Thanks to everyone in this thread who had kind words for me. They are very much appreciated. Lets keep interacting with and treating one another in ways that keep CW moving in the direction we want it to go.

Peace,

Gretchen
