Kevin's Watch

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.

Danlo, I salute you.

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.

Hail danlo!! greet your admirers and be feted!!

danlo,

Be praised for your Watch-work, and stay hale and whole... no matter how they may assail you.

AND he laughs at my jokes. and he's a Toddhead. and he loans his most favorite books. and he'll drive hundreds of miles to see his friends. and he's just an all 'round good bloke.

i agree. good thread!!!


lets have a danlo party!!!

dAN is indeed awesome.

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.

Danlo, you're the best!

Pft, danlo is such a newbie.

Oh, oookaayyy......Mr. Thomas Covenant!

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!

three cheers for danlo!

hip hop hooray!

I'll see your Toddhead (as am I) and raise you a fantasy football nut! All hail the great Danlo!!!!!

danlo got SRD to sign my copy of Gilden-fire.....

Danlo, you are the Watchfriend. No other name suffices.

Danlo! Watchfriend! Hail!

Yep. Danlo rocks.

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.
