Yet he remains relatively unrecognised and unthanked. I think it's time to change that.
Danlo, I salute you.

A salute to Danlo
Earlier today, I was mulling over my time at the Watch, and it occurred to me that Danlo has been present since the beginning - certainly the beginning of my stay, and almost the beginning of the Watch itself. Furthermore, he's done a great many things for his fellow Watchers. For instance, he organised the original Elohimfest, put people up at his house, and arranged for SRD to stop by for dinner. He's been a constant benevolent presence on this site, has contributed much and has borne occasional affectionate mockery in good humour
Yet he remains relatively unrecognised and unthanked. I think it's time to change that.

I must add that danlo is one of the nicest, most decent members of KW. He's done more the SRD community than anyone else, and should be commended. It's a pleasure to know you, Mr D.
Good thread, Cov Jr.

and that's not what we brag about.

danlo is a wonderful guy. I mean, dude... he gave me my own thread when I was still a newblet. What more could you ask than such a friendly introduction to the watch?
Thank you for being here, danlo. Your presence on this forum means something to me, as I'm sure it does to most if not all Watchers.

When I think about "core" members of the Watch, danlo is one of them. He and a few other key members represented KW's core "identity" as I recognized it when I joined, and they set the tone of discourse for everyone else to follow. Over time, KW has come to be dominated by a lot of non-Covenant related areas of discussion, but danlo's commitment to TC and all things SRD has never wavered.
It was danlo who kickstarted the Chronicles dissections, and he was also a key contributor to the Mordant dissections. The Dissections have since become the pride of the Watch. I certainly feel privileged to have been a part of them. I will always be grateful to danlo for welcoming me into the group reads and for encouraging me on to do my own chapter dissections. He is a good cheerleader. He also filled well the role of grouchy taskmaster when we missed deadlines.
And all of us here appreciate the "scoops" that danlo has provided in his reportage of events like the various SRD readings. I first saw news of the Last Chronicles here via danlo's report. A lot of jaws dropped to the floor that day.
So, danlo, thank you for helping to shape KW into the premier place for discussion of all things SRD!

Yep. Danlo rocks.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Few people have done so much for the watch for so long. Even when he and I weren't the best of friends, he sent me a copy of Mordants Needs: A Man Rides Through when I couldn't get it anywhere else. He has been a voice of reason.
As Matrixman previously stated; no-one has worked harder on the dissections, keeping the discussions going and the chapters up to date. He is without doubt one of the best members here. Hail Danlo - and on behalf of the entire watch - thankyou.
