You're welcome.

Many users are marked by AOU with various kinds of icons placed by their names which are usually related in some way to the person's actions/words on poal or directly to their usernames.

Unfortunately, while it is obvious for many others why they got a certain icon, I don't know exactly what I said or did that led to AOU applying an icon on me, though I have a guess.

As for the icon itself that was selected to be placed on me, I don't know what a deep red rose on a scroll might signify though or how that Whitman quote about Lincoln could relate to me or what I've said or done on poal.

AOU's actions and words show me that he is a pretty good at reading people and judging their character. I do like roses, and I also like scrolls. More than that, scrolls are often associated with knowledge and I do think of myself as being a fairly well-read and informed/knowledgeable individual and I do try to share information and knowledge with others. Coupled with the writings of Whitman via that quote and how I do write quite a lot, I believe it shows that AOU had put thought into what gift he might present to me. I think he made a very nice and appropriate choice and I appreciate being presented with it. While there may be others, the only other individual I've seen on poal with this icon was ; a knowledgeable individual who writes quite a lot just as I do.

Or I could be way off and it was just that this icon was the prize for those who guess what stands for despite my one guess that I think may be what it stands for not technically being posted as an actual guess.

I do not know for certain. It was presented in silence, and I appreciate it in silence (well, not in silence anymore, I suppose).

I'm just another person on the site who likes to back up and archive things before viewing them in case they disappear quickly, as things do tend to disappear quickly.

This works out also as I then have the backup and/or archive handy to post in case it was something worth sharing. I also like to "pay-it-forward" - you had provided the link for me and others and I already had the backup/mirror made, so it only takes a few seconds to share them for others in case they may be of use to them.

Actually, I've been bitched at many times for providing mirrors for things that some people felt that "the site/channel deserves the traffic", which is not the only reason to archive articles and videos, but for most too many people everything comes down to being about "money" and not about preserving and sharing information.

(edit: Yes, I realize saying "pay-it-forward" itself, despite being 'good', also comes down to and has a basis in being related to money. That is how ingrained kikes have woven usury into the societies of the world to where language and actions are warped to such a degree that even being helpful to or doing a good deed for another as was done for you is considered repayment of a debt instead of simply being a good person who is staying true to the principles instilled in you by your parents.)
