Ha-ha! Rod, if it were so. Don’t overstate my abilities, my friend, for I am nothing without my brilliant ABBYY Lingvo 12! I think your participation in the forum discussions beautifies it and makes interesting and live. I wish you sincerely new interesting threads and discussions, Rod.

Dear Rod,
Today, on the 14th of December, 2009, your score went over 1000! Please take our sincere congratulations and best wishes to you.
For short period of time you, my friend, became the very favorite and darling member of our site.
Thank you for your activity, friendship and amicability, for your keen interest to Russia, Russian people and Russian culture! Thank you for your great input in the work of our forum.
Steer up, Rod!

I want this thread to be on the surface.

I also noticed few hours ago, that Rod has exceeded 1000 votes boundary. To my astonishment there exist such discussion, where all participants can express the most warm words to Rod. If I knew, I would immediately join it. Nevertheless, the first "thank you" goes to Poseidon, who posted this discussion. In this way I became familiar with the possibility to thank Rod. You are really a great man, Rod, who supports all of us and help us to learn English, who provides many interesting fact and who is always ready to have a nice conversation. I'm not afraid of claiming, that you are definitely the sceleton of RapidSteps! We are very thankful for it!

I am deeply touched by your words, swatch_de!

I did not realize this was an active and ongoing discussion, you guys...especially directed to Poseidon, the creator. I probably get so many votes because I am the only native English speaker and so people think I know what I am talking about! I don't deserve any special appreciation; I am learning from you all...all of the time! I now know St Basil's from St Germain des Pres. Thanks everyone!
