Open Discussion - Post your links to my best quotes, with comments.

Everyone knows that my modesty prevents me from blowing my own horn, so I thought it would be nice to give the little people out there an opportunity to post your links to what you think are my best comments on the net.

Please include a short quote, along with how reading it changed your life, healed your wounded spirits, rid your computer of viruses, and how you felt just basking in my munificence.

Remember, your posts might help inspire others; did you know even Steve Jobs follows me? Coasting on luck all these years, not having the advantages of my good looks and great wisdom, it must be hard for him, but I do put in a good word where I can, and I'm sure he's grateful, and he'll get around to replying to my emails some day.

But enough about Apple. Let's talk about something important. Let's talk about me!

Even the lusers who use Linux respect me more than Groklaw!

As you can see from the comments on Linux Weekly News, people are enthused about the raw talent that I bring to my job as the premier supporter of proprietary software to combat the plague of Open Sores software.

Hi Mr. Mueller,

I am flattered and pleased that you have deigned to reply! Not even in my dreams have I conceived of conversing, even over the Internet, with someone worthy enough to have been credited in three separate (!) Blizzard Entertainment titles. However, I sense that you are being overly coy in stating your qualifications. No doubt there are numerous employee-of-the-month and high school yearbook awards that you have omitted to mention, due to a misplaced sense of modesty. Please, don't hold back on this account.

@cyd, you are actually right that I didn't list all of them. CNET Networks UK handed me (jointly with an activist organization) the Outstanding Contribution to Software Development Award, Silicon.com put me on the list of the 50 Silicon Agenda Setters, Linux Magazine named me runner-up to its Outstanding Contribution to Linux & Open Source Award. But the reason I didn't mention those awards is because I wanted to focus on those with the most impressive fellow laureates -- more impressive than any fellow laureates Groklaw can point to.

I think you failed the sarcasm test, buddy. :)

I know you're responding to someone claiming you're a nobody, but just as a friendly (really) bit of advice: waving your fame-dick around in public just makes you look like you're trying to compensate for something else, and doesn't impress anybody at all.

You see, people are so impressed by me that they can't get enough - except for that last poster, who is obviously either someone from groklaw or a team of lawyers from IBM ... or both!
