Two points:
One, in other threads, your cult member meatpuppets are being obnoxious. Ask them to cut it out, if you would, because their low-information comments are trashing your reputation and making you look like a joke who has to pay people for praise (seriously, that's how it comes across, although most people aren't so blunt as to tell you, and will just silently let you make a mockery of yourself).
Also, as for a response to this comment, this is transparent self-praise, and insofar as you are actually expressing gratitude, you're expressing gratitude that somebody else had a shitty choice to make and you got an opportunity to make yourself look good. Either you don't actually understand what gratitude is - which isn't necessarily a personal fault, it's not an emotion I feel either, but I do understand what it is supposed to be - or you're being oblivious to the idea you're actually expressing here.
Yes, but how do you really feel?
I've already been over that, but if you weren't around for that: http://lesswrong.com/r/discussion/lw/mz4/link_lifehack_article_promoting_lesswrong/cw8n
I follow Gleb's posts and the reaction to said posts casually as they come up. It's entertaining.
