I sincerely appreciate the gesture - truly I do - but I've always been quite uncomfortable with some of the (for lack of a better term) "hero worship" that myself and some other established/knowledgeable users receive on this forum. I'm just a normal person. Quiet remembrance will be just fine. 
Not just a normal person. I think you are clearly above average in terms of intelligence, and the fact that you are the champion of earned merit, and more counting that you don't usually open threads, proves it.
