	In Response To: Hats Off to 1319!!1! (poena.dare) : Hats off to 1319! : Hats off to 819! : It's been 20 years... TWENTY FREAKIN YEARS! Two decades. A generation. : Sometimes, in the dark night of my soul, I worry that Hamish will publish all : the disturbing emails I sent him. The crazy ideas, the major failures of : logic because I didn't read the terms carefully enough, the impassioned : pleas of platonic love, the unwanted Pfhor/S'pht slashfic... : And no matter how repulsive or illogical or demented my emails were, Hamish : treated each one with the good humor and patient civility that one : reserves for a beloved grandparent one isn't quite ready to push down : the stairs. I should be so lucky to have more people like Hamish in my : life! : We can only imagine the powerful force of curiosity that drove Hamish to : start documenting things. Once his razor sharp analytical mind was on the : task so many hidden things came to light that Bungie was forced to pay him : to keep quiet. With that money Hamish created the Marathon's Story website : and filled it with cleverly crafted red herrings so no one would discover : the tru7h. : I firmly believe that Bungie would be a 7.7% less interesting company if it : wasn't for Hamish. Today, you can't buy this kind of fan support. : I have been so fortunate to have been around when so many great things : unfolded because of Marathon's Story. I have felt the brush of Matt : Soell's tender lips on the back of my neck. I have stood on the spot that : Greg Kirkpatrick pooped himself. I have walked in the parking lot where : Ryan Martell scored a dime bag. I have experienced both smiles and glares : from Nathan Bitner. I have heard Doug Zartman's muffled voice come from : his grandmother's closet. I have touched women that have touched Jason : Jones. I plucked a thread from the hem of Alex Seropian's shirt during a : particularly sweaty workout session. I would never been able to stalk so : many for so long if it wasn't for this website. : Sometimes I wonder if Hamish is actually the reason Bungie exists. That we : are all players in his fevered dream. And when he awakes we will be but : the crashing waves that he escapes into. : I love you Hamish. I love Forrest and Gholsbane and Treellama and Bob-B-Q and : so many others that have made this 20 year odyssey chock full of wonder, : revelation, and bad puns. : Hats off to us all! Hamish has definitely created a valuable resource. And he was receptive to my emails and minor contributions. so yes indeed, hats off, and cheers.
