I am another who enjoys your posts tremendously. You are always kind, interesting and most of all very, very stylish!!

Woohoo, Haven! Congratulations! You're one of my favorite posters, and I always look forward to seeing what you have to say: glad it's a case of quality and quantity!
Sigh. I hate coming into a thread late. I hate having nothing new or interesting to add to the discussion. I had thought that I might actually be the one to start the thread for your 10,000th posting, Haven, but I was obviously asleep at the wheel.
I can add that in addition to enjoying your intelligence and your anecdotes, I tremendously enjoy your good grammar (and your being a grammar buff) and your being a thoughtful, insightful reader who likes to discuss the books she reads. It gives me great pleasure to read what you write about books and about words.
You are kind of an all around good kid and a thoughtful, wise soul. I am glad to consider you a friend.
LADIES! Thank you so much for this thread (Amy!) and for all of the sweet and wonderful things you've posted.
For someone who is often accused of having no emotions, I am feeling very overwhelmed with gratitude and warm fuzzies right now.
You are all too generous. I thank you for being so gracious and open to me and my numerous opinions. I really feel like a won a very exciting prize right now--membership in a community filled with the most wonderful and thoughtful people.
I popped in for a quick break from a very trying day, and this was the exactly what I needed to perk me up. (I'm giving students their results on an exit exam, and more than a couple have shed some tears. It's so hard to be the one to have to give them news that they don't want to hear about their course placement.)
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! I was seriously considering a trip down to the cafeteria to buy some overly indulgent treat as a little pick-me-up to get through the afternoon, but now I no longer need it. Thank you so much. Really.
ETA: This was my ten thousandth post, exactly. Woo hoo!
ETA2: Amy, we must have been posting at the same time. Thank you so much for starting this thread.
Wow Haven! Congrats! I always love reading your posts. I remember "finding" you on the LIW/BWW and have been following your posts since. Here's to another 10K!
