tfs joins the uber-commenters

Fantastic accomplishment, outstanding, thanks for participating, T

Thanks to all for those kind words!

As a commenter, I'm sorry to say that I got off to a slow start but with the huge variety of outstanding stories in the Library (and growing by leaps and bounds every week), I soon discovered that writing comments was not hard. On the contrary, it was easy and enjoyable, especially when a comment turned into a conversation via the pop up message channel.

Keep 'em coming and I'll keep commenting!

Many thanks,

tfs

Congratulations tfs. I would like to take this chance to say, publicly, how much I appreciate your comments. Especially the one about my story melting your monitor. LOL

Mal,

I've replaced the monitor. Where do I send the bill?

LOL

Well, I've certainly appreciated--and reacted to--many of tfs's commentaries on my stories, especially my portrayals of characters over a period of time.

Five thousand comments, that's pretty incredible... --C.K.

Congratulations and many thanks to a serious stalwart of the spanking story scene.

As an author of a few stories I received and answered tfs comments for most if not all of my stories, for which I thank you very much, and as above one thousand comments commenter, I can appreciate how difficult is the feat of reaching the 5,000 comments. Congratulations tfs.

You are the quintessential commenter and I enjoy everyone of yours, especially the follow up conversations. Congratulations on your new milestone.

Yes, here I go being a pedantic old bore again. The fact that many English speakers pay no attention to the umlaut (a sound change where a vowel is modified to conform more closely to the vowel in the next syllable) when using German words is a constant irritation to those of us who speak the language. May I respectively suggest that nrick uses either über or ueber when he next needs to describe the "upper stratosphere of commenters?"

You may suggest (respectively, respectfully, or otherwise) anything you please. Depending on my mood, I might actually follow said suggestion. I am fully aware that, in German, "uber" should have an umlaut; I just have neither the time nor the initiative to figure out how to make one appear when I type. Knowing the propriety of including umlauts where called for, I made sure to enlist the help of an LSF staff member to add one to the title of one of my stories. Whether proper or not from a derivational (did I just make up that word?) standpoint, Americans have anglicized (americanized?) the use of "uber-" as a prefix without the umlaut. That bastardized form is the one I chose to use in this case.

(I hope that my post here doesn't sound as rude to others as it does to me when I read back through it; that's not how I intended it)
