A heart felt congratulations goes out to Teri for posting her way off the Deadbeat List. Of course, in true Hacker form I must tell you about my great influence on her posting life.
Teri was a regular poster on the old FFF. Toward the end of our time there, Teri was harassed by a couple of posters. Yes, I'm sure she deserved it. When I joined the new FFF I recommended it to Teri. She was sure that it was owned by those who had harassed her. I did not believe it to be so.
The new FFF was moderated much better that the old one. It was a more pleasant place to post without some of the jerks that ruined the old FFF. Because I am so great, I continued to encourage Teri to join. Finally my persistence paid off. Teri became a member.
It wasn't long until her daily posting numbers started to drop. Because I am such a caring individual, I began to warn her. I heard every excuse in the book. Because of my patient and loving personality, I didn't give up.
Finally, she landed on the Deadbeat List. I knew that Teri had what it took to be a committed poster. It would be up to me to take her to that place. Scores of emails and texts were sent by me. I pushed her on days she didn't feel like posting. I texted her to tell her of new threads. I sacrificed my time and energy to motivate her.
You can imagine how refreshing it was for me to receive her text yesterday telling me what an inspiration and blessing I had been to her. As I look at the text now it brings a tear to my eye - "RAIDER, I made it off the Deadbeat List. All the thanks goes to you. Without you I would be a one post per day worthless hunk of Spam. Thank you for caring".
Teri, enough about me. Congratulations for doing what no one else has been able to do. I hope you motivate others to do the same. I hope some of the "men" on the Deadbeat List will be shamed by a woma......I mean female showing them up.
Hacker Nation, I feel your admiration for what I have accomplished with Teri. Please, remove your eyes from me and let's congratulate Teri!!
