And congrats to the male 1%!!!!


all the detailed information given in RT is priceless, as is all the personal time put in to help all those asking!

LOL! I couldn't agree more - our stormy IS the male 1% of diamond prosumers, always has and always will be!

There will never be anyone else like him, who has spent so many years being the ultimate consumer educator and advocate.

Karl - thanks for being you! You are one of a kind - the BEST kind!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Lori

Listen my children and you shall hear
Of a keen prosumer who has no peer
From eleventh November in 2003
A thousand-score missives he’s penned mightily.

By sword and by shield he defendeth his turf
And even ‘mongst pros he’s not anyone’s serf –
His thoughts and his articles garner him praise
from all of us cut nerds who knows what he says.

He worked with the DiamCalc to make step cuts shine
And DiaGem cut one of his cool designs.
His way of straight shooting and no-nonsense ‘tude
And dry humor make him a popular dude.

He guides and informs and he helps with advice
And debates like a maelstrom that makes foes think twice…
So ‘ware all ye scoundrels and shills if ye post
Cause Strm will kick YOU where it cyber-hurts most!

And to all of you newbies who want a bright jewel
The words you should look for are “kicken” or “kewl.”
Whether RB or square or one carat or eight
The end of your search shall be met with “congrates!”

So huzzah for Karl and your time on PS -
And thanks for the years that you’ve given your best.
Come rain, sleet or snow who is Pricescope’s best fighter?
The resident “prosumer” we all know as Strmrdr!

[strmrdr]

Sir John,
One word...
kicken!

Thank you

This tribute was perfect, says another self poet,
Having penned some myself I would certainly know it.

So kudos to you as well as strmrdr,
I shall toast to you both with some sparkling cider! (because Karl doesn't drink, and Pepsi doesn't ryhme)

Good one John.

 

[Lorelei]

BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[John P]

Karl, you're welcome.

Stormy, (Karl)

Sorry to stop by late!

I wanted to suggest you and Peter Sarsgaard do a meet up for another convention at the Holiday Inn...and make sure you invite us all to join you.

Many more posts to you...

 

[dianne]

Congrats, Strm! What an achievement!

I cannot imagine I would ever attempt to buy an asscher without running it by you first.
