Áîºú, please don't misunderstand. I was only referring to the 3 encouragements here in this line in particular. As for others, I often thank them in the line that follow up mine, including you in one of my lines. Perhaps you never go back to check what I wrote after your comment. I highly regard your opinion and want to hear more from you. But it seems that it is your style that you just say whatever you want to say and don't care how people respond to yours. Only in rare cases you became very annoyed and attacked back and it became a brutal fight. I'm not sure if that's what abc suggests that I should do here but my intention is to stay away from it.
To test what I've just said, you may check how I did respond to your comments before or I will check here to see if you ever care to respond to how others respond to your comments. See you soon here in Cafe.
In case you still think I forgot to thank you, let me be specific this time. THANK YOU.
By the way, I'm usually quite quiet here but I do read many of the debates in which you participated and I value yours very much. Agreeing or disagreeing does not really matter, but my recollection is I agree with you more often than not, even though I never said so before.
If you still remember my first contact or conflict with you, that is because I had trouble finding you being sincere or joking. I am a person more on the serious side and seldomly kidding. But you seem to switch as often as you like. Now I am sincerely thanking you here, but I'm afriad that most likely you would come back here saying you were just kidding and laugh at me for being serious or lack of sense of humor. This seems a game that always forces me to be at your mercy. I can only pray and beg for mercy.
Again, looking forward to meeting you here. I am waiting. Shall I say "don't make a gentleman wait"? Just kidding. Seriously.
Thank you again, for one more time. Once I can handle your game better, i.e. keeping on talking without a tongue in cheek, I really would love to have more conversations with you, either here or elsewhere, or privately through email. Your head is certainly another one that I can honestly say "two heads are better than one" when I can add yours to mine.
To tell you the truth, sometimes I wonder if I should view the fact that you didn't throw bricks at me as the highest honor I can get. The only problem is I never know if you have read my essay or not. If only you could just say you have read it already, that'll be good enough.
In fact, that is also my wish for every other reader, i.e. I just want to know that mine has been read by people. If I could know it is read by how many and by whom that will be even better. That's exactly what I wish the internet technic could solve someday. Is it possible to set up a feature in this Cafe to let author know how many and by whom his/her articles have been read? If so, this Cafe will be even more valuable to me. But I guess that will be an intrusion to people's privacy. So, as usual, I give more priority to privacy to curiosity.
Oh, well, I have said too much for now and better shut up now. Bye, and thank you all.
