I have so much praise I could give you Paul Erik. You are pretty much my archetypal quality editor, and I will leave it at that. I'm glad you are here and I'll miss you, to the extent I can miss anonymous internet strangers, when you are gone. I know this barnstar may seem like it is kind of coming out of nowhere, but you deserve it. Seriously. ☺ jorgenev 09:41, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
