Please edit the following short message for me:

Hi Altezza,

Not that I expected the thread to celebrating my 1000th post. Actually I hated such kind of celebration -- Blaise got it right. So I have been kept staying away the thread... But, you know, some guys using VB, HI-FIve, China man and a few other disparaging terms to show off their smarty tricks; and of course, cos so many members expressed their sincere congratulations to me -- so I should, I have to thank them, including you Altezza. Emotion: smile

Peace,
William

Would someone like to rewrite those in a more formal manner for me? I am so embarrassed that I cannot figure out how to make the tone more formal. Sorry for that.
