Bencherlite, just a note of appreciation for your recent support of my request for adminship, which ended successfully with 112 supports, 2 opposes, and 1 neutral. If there's something I've realized during my RFA process this last week, it's that adminship is primarily about trust. I will strive to honour that trust in my future interactions with the community. Many thanks! Gatoclass (talk) 06:26, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Whew! Finally got through all that thank-spamming. That was hard work! Anyhow, saved the best till last.

This is just a special thanks for being my co-nom, which helped get my RfA off to a flying start. Not to mention the strong support and encouragement you've given me over the last few weeks.

I was planning to hand you a six-pack but since I couldn't find one, I'm just shouting you to a beer instead. Enjoy! Gatoclass (talk) 09:56, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
