'Anyway, I just want everyone I know I appreciate your coming, even if I'm lately sort of a dick about keeping up correspondence'--Ace

It is the rest of us who make a beeline for your site on a regular basis,who should be extending our thanks for all the work you go to in order to deliver a lively,honest,and interesting internet experience.

So---- Thanks for everything !!!

'sokay, Ace. You still slice like a fucking hammer.

You' ve been "dick about keeping up correspondence" for awhile now, actually.

:-)

I don't know Ace, the last couple of times I emailed you you've responded right away.

Maybe that's just because you like me better than Bill.

Maybe that's just because you like me better than Bill.

In a totally platonic, non-gay way I mean.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Ace, I'm with dougf and Paul.

Ace--

We appreciate your work brother. Keep swinging.

Ace, if you were wondering what that smoldering smell is, and where those clouds of thick black smoke are coming from, I really thought I should let you know that Senator Zell Miller is still on f----in fire:

A day late, sure, but the guy still slices...

Ace, you're doin' fine, considering the circumstances. If it reinforces the point at all, I've only just come to the realization that there's only one blog I read every single day without fail - and I've gotten so used to it, I don't know what I'd do with myself if I didn't have it.

But when I'm finished with Best of the Web, I come here for a few laughs.

:-) j/k

Hell, I'm just happy to be here....

And thank you for making the site.

Thank YOU.

I don't know if people realize just how time-consuming and challenging it is to keep up a good blog, much less come up with original stuff. Anyone can regurgitate other people's posts all day and call themselves a blogger, but you've been keeping us rolling in the isles since the beginning, Ace, with things nobody -- nobody -- would think of (come on, a Paul Anka haiku contest?? A Dungeons & Dragons guide to the Democratic primaries??).

I can feel a book deal coming...

ace,

only real dicks fish for compliments on their own blog.

ha

Seriously, though, you do a great job. Sarcastic, sharp, and not in the least intimidated. Funny how great I a. . . I mean, YOU are. No, really, you do great, and all of us have responsibilities outside of the web.

Thanks for doing your part. And mine. And a few other people's, too.

No apologies needed.
