Are we allowed to ask what regular user we are wishing a happy birthday? Well, if this doesn't get deleted, I don't know who you are! Love, gnfti

This is kind of weird.

It's okay to say happy birthday to a regular user. It's not okay to say happy birthday to nobody in particular. You can't just shout into the abyss.

So when are we irregular users going to get some love and/or respect? Everybody needs a hug, even if you have a rather strange growth on your back...

Thank you, nax.

However, if this does get deleted, you need to go on a voyage of self-discovery.

Sure, it's what MeMail was probably invented for.

Thank you! Now all we need is a truckload of fresh cake.

Today's [your] birthday!

That smiley face kinda freaked me out.

Yo, nax, I'm really happy for you, and I'ma let you finish, but mathowie had the best birthday callout post of all time!

We've got, what, 65,000 registered users on here?

So, around 180 people should be celebrating their birthday today...

wishing a happy birthday to random users seem like a rather dangerous precedent.
