It is the respect and admiration of your friends on the forum. My guess is that it really extends much further.

Wow, Gene. That's the best prize ever!

(I have to confess that the reason I know that is I was a teenager when I first heard the saying and heard it attributed to Santayana. As a youngster, I was fascinated with the story of the Alamo (it probably had something to do with the John Wayne movie). In any event, I was struck by the fact that the man responsible for Davy Crockett's death would make such a profound observation. It wasn't until I was in college that I learned to distinguish between Santa Anna and Santayana. So, I still chuckle when I run across the quote.)
