something something 7 year anniversary.

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

I'm genuinely glad you're here Marvin, you were a really important part of the community to me when I was integrating back in from my hiatus.

What? Seven years? :mad: I remember when Marvin was just an AIO-loving kid, and now he's a seven-year veteran of the ToO! :sniff:

Yes, "were", the sentence was referring to a past event. It doesn't infer you have ceased being an important part of the community to me. If I had said 'you were only important when', but I didn't, I was merely highlighting that specific time, not exclusively isolating it from the present. For shame, self proclaimed grammar nazi.

For shame, taking /the/ saracastic poster at face value :noway:

Still, after seven years, one should assume that I am usually being sarcastic :noway:

One could also assume my reaction was more facetious than serious.

Except, based on past experiences, the latter is more likely to be accurate than the former \:D/

Is that sarcastic as well? :-k The vast majority of times I make one of those deadpan responses I realize full well it's an overreaction. I thought people knew that.

In this particular instance of course I was aware you were making a joke, I've known you for years Marvin :roll: , I was playing along by responding as if it was serious even though I knew it wasn't. Is that not the reaction you desired? It seems less fun to, just because we know a remark is only sarcasm, ignore it or respond with a mere 'Ha, good one.'
