I've avoided spamming this thread so far, but by now it seems clear that all tributes are welcome, so here's my humble contribute...
Ming's been a close personal friend of mine IRL for about 30 years (rah too, obviously). Great guy(s). What Ming does for Poly is obvious, legendary, and well-documented. With apologies to David (Psalm 23 iirc) here is my tribute.
SPAMMER'S PRAYER TO THE GREAT GOD MING
"The MING is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in new forums: He leadeth me beside the acceptable threads. He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of spam, I will fear no PCR, for Ming is with me. His rod and His staff, they comfort me.
He preparest a Polymeet before me in the presence of mine enemies. He anointest me with the finest beer, and my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of Apolyton for ever."
(Clip and save)

That bit is unedited -- straight out of the Bible.

Especially if you see the whole poem (and the entire thread for that matter) as stroking Ming's ego.

For some this may be about stroking ego. For me, I think it is giving credit where credit is due. Ming is a highly effective mod and I have yet to see a situation where he has ever been grossly unfair. Given the scope of debates and the emotion involved, I think he does an exceptional job keeping things civil. In addition, whenever I have had a question, he has always been extremely prompt and informative in his replies. I consider us all lucky to have him as a mod and he deserves a praise thread.
Keep up the good work Ming!

Wasn't saying that I see this thread as ego stroking, just that someone might.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. The mods here have a thankless job that make the world of Poly a much better place.

Stop that, would you? That's a little bit too obvious.

OK. I will not say I love Ming anymore, but believe me, He'll always have a place in my heart. Yeah. That's why I enter this thread. I love to see that Ming is loved.
